Disciple Quiz

Jesus sure picked an interesting group of people as disciples. When it comes to loyalty, smarts and dependability, they weren't so hot. For instance, when he asked some of them to stay up with him during his all-night prayer vigil, they kept falling asleep. When he tried to tell them that he would be raised up three days after being crucified, they didn't get it. On the night Jesus was arrested, the disciples took off running. Peter couldn't even stand up to a servant when she asked him if he was a friend of Jesus. Course, it all seemed to work out in the end, but he had his work cut out for him when he picked them.
