Fisherman and farmers, tax collectors and tradesmen. Husbands…fathers… brothers. They fought. They argued. They doubted. These ordinary, flawed individuals – people just like you and me – were called on by God to be extraordinary. And they took on that challenge because, ultimately, they believed. These twelve men were THE DISCIPLES.
Marked by a time of political and religious turmoil, the Disciples were called by Jesus to leave all that was familiar for a life even more dangerous and uncertain. Overcoming their fears, they found the courage to follow. That conviction would one day cost many their lives. Each Disciple embarked on a personal journey to faith as unique as his own character. Their dramatic stories are revealed for the first time on television in THE DISCIPLES, a 12-hour limited series event that concludes in a two hour special, THE PASSION, a riveting account of Jesus’ final days as experienced by the Disciples.
