Do the twelve disciples of Jesus represent the twelve tribes of Israel?
Some who are sceptical about the gospels story say that the twelve disciples represent the twelve tribes of Israel. Some even go further and say that, in both cases, the twelve derives from the twelve star signs in the heavens.Answer 2If the question "represent" is intended as "come from", i.e. did each of Jesus' twelve disciples come from a different tribe, then the answer is: No. All of Jesus' followers were either Levites or Judahites. The other tribes were not represented.Answer/Maybe.According to the Epistle of Barnabas, who wrote: '.. to whom the Lord gave authority to preach his Gospel : being at the beginning twelve, to signify the tribes, because there were twelve tribes of Israel.' Note that the earliest known version of the Epistle of Barnabas is from the 4th century (~300 years after Barnabas walked the earth) and is only only ascribed to Barnabas by tradition so its authenticity is unknown.

What are the names of the disciples who wrote books in the New Testament?
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Peter. Paul also, but he was an Apostle.
Who of the original twelve disciples wrote books of the Bible?
Christian tradition attributes the Gospels of Matthew and John to two of the twelve disciples. Epistles are also attributed to James, John, Jude and Peter.Actually, none of the twelve disciples wrote any book that we see in the New Testament. The four gospels were written anonymously and were only attributed th the disciples whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Scholars say that these gospels were not written by eyewitnesses to the events they portray. None of the epistles can be attributed to any of the disciples. In fact, Jude clearly identifies itself as a second-century book, while 2 Peter includes almost all of the material in Jude, proof that 2 Peter was also written during the second century. Scholars have looked closely at all these works to find evidence of the original disciples, but see nothing in the gospels or epistles that points back to any of the disciples.
How many of Jesus' twelve apostles wrote letters that are published in the Bible?
The epistles of James, Peter, John and Jude are attributed to the disciples of those names. However, it is recognised by scholars that the epistles were not really written by the disciples. In fact, 2 Peter incorporates almost all of the Epistle of Jude, something that is not really credible if the Epistles of Peter were really written by the disciple. And Jude, although intended to be read as if written by Jude in the first century, stands with its readers and looks towards the past saying that the readers, "must remember the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ"- placing the real disciples in the distant past.
