屬於便雅憫支派的以色列人，是出生在國外的猶太僑民，家在猶太省北方基利家省的大數城，是當時羅馬帝國的主要學術中心之壹。保羅原名掃羅 (意為求問)，因出生在羅馬帝國直屬領地，根據出生地國籍原則，具有羅馬公民的身份。保羅的父親是法利賽人，他長大後又到耶路撒冷著名學者迦瑪列門下學習，所以從小便受法利賽教門的薰陶，並接受過嚴格的律法教育。他對舊約聖經，希臘文和哲學都有深入的研究
，這對他後來從事聖工與闡明真道有很大的幫助。保羅最初堅持猶太教傳統，認為耶穌是違背傳統信仰的異端，極力迫害基督徒。後來他在往大馬色迫害門徒的途中，得到耶穌奇妙的異象啟示，自此悔改歸入主的名下。 聖若望／約翰 (St. John) 傳福音者約翰 (英文:John the Evangelist
希伯來文:? 就是 "主是仁慈的" 之意
天主教稱聖若望)，是耶穌十二門徒之壹。約翰是《聖經新約》中《約翰福音》、三封書信和《啟示錄》的執筆者。約翰是天主教和東正教公認的聖人，其聖日為十二月二十七日。據《聖經》記載，約翰曾跟隨施洗約翰，在他介紹下認識耶穌基督，並於當日與耶穌同住。後來與哥哥雅各和彼得在經歷耶穌的神跡，獲得大量魚獲後，決心放下壹切而應主的呼召，壹生跟隨耶穌。 耶穌被釘上十字架受死之時，受委托奉養其母親聖母馬利亞。約翰曾因傳道遭受嚴酷的逼迫，晚年更被流放至拔摩島。 聖瑪竇／馬太 (St. Matthew) 馬太（天主教中文譯為瑪竇）是新約聖經馬太福音的作者，耶穌十二門徒之壹。他原名為肋未，在跟從耶穌之前，原任羅馬帝國猶太行省的稅吏長。他的記念日是9月21日，是他殉道的日子。馬太本是個稅吏，有壹天在稅關上工作時，耶穌經過看見他，就對他說：「妳跟從我來」。他便撇下所有工作，跟從了耶穌。稅吏當時為猶太人所不齒，主呼召他是要顯明主來要救罪人之洪恩，而馬太亦毅然放下賺錢的工作跟隨主。馬太跟從主後，在家宴請耶穌和稅吏朋友，其他福音書詳記這是他擺的大筵席（路5：29），而他在自己寫的福音書中只敘述耶穌在屋裏坐席，可見他謙卑忠誠，不誇榮自己的財富或工作。 施洗聖約翰／施洗約翰 (John the Baptist) 聖洗者若翰即基督教的施洗聖約翰，他是耶穌的表兄，在耶穌開始傳福音之前在曠野向猶太人勸勉悔改，並為耶穌施洗。據聖經記載，若翰是最早在約旦河中為人施洗禮的人，是基督教的先行者，向人們宣傳猶太教需要改革，並預言上帝將要派重要的人物降生，為耶穌宣講教義奠下基礎。後來，他因為公開抨擊當時的猶太王希律，被捕入獄，但希律王顧忌他的威望，壹直不敢殺害他。希律王的繼女莎樂美為他跳舞，他高興了答應賞賜她，向神發誓可以賞賜她任何物品，在母親的慫恿下，莎樂美要洗者若翰的頭，希律王無奈只得派人殺死若翰，將頭放到盤子中交給莎樂美。施洗聖約翰日是6月24日即是其殉道日。 聖弟鐸／提多 (St. Titus) 提多是《聖經．新約》中的壹個人物，他不是猶太人，是壹個外族的基督徒，在《聖經》中他伴隨保羅赴外地傳教以及管理教會內部的事物。 2006-11-17 22:19:34 補充： 相關網址：zh. *** /w/index?title=%E5%9F%BA%E7%9D%A3%E6%95%99%E8%81%96%E4%BA%BA%E5%88%97%E8%A1%A8&variant=zh-
