Jesus knew and loved them during his life. They were the people who watched him grow and knew his voice, his face, his walk, and all those human traits that only friends and loved ones know. They sat at the same table and walked the same village streets as Jesus did. Sharing the same human place and time with him, they had a special bond with the Word made flesh. We can hardly know him without knowing them. They were eyewitnesses of Jesus' life and resurrection from the dead. Many of them died because they told others what they saw and heard. By reason of their testimony, generations of Christians believe in him. This book tells their stories. |
