Marmar I know the answers:

1) John = You Hanna (Arabic)
'You' comes from 'Yahwa' which means God
'Hanna' means has compassion
so John or Youhanna means 'God has compassion'
2) St. Luke was also an artist (He painted 2 Icons of St. Mary one of them is in Egypt)

From the Synexarium for Abib 23

The Martyrdom of St. Longinus the Soldier.
On this day, St. Longinus the Soldier, was martyred. He was Greek by nationality, from one of the countries of Cappadocia. When Tiberius Caesar reigned, and appointed Pilate governor of the land of Judah, Longinus was one of the soldiers that accompanied him.

When the time arrived that Our Lord wished to save the creation, Longinus was one of the soldiers that were in charge of crucifying the Lord of Glory. It happened that after the Lord had delivered up His soul, Longinus pierced His side with a spear, and blood and water flowed from His Side. Longinus marvelled exceedingly when he saw this, and his amazement increased when he saw that the sun became dark, the curtain of the Temple was rent, the rocks were split, and that the dead rose up from the tombs. He believed and realized all the miracles which Our Lord performed from His Birth to His Crucifixion. When the righteous Joseph took the body of the Savior, shrouded Him, and laid it in the sepulcher, this Saint was standing there with the guards when they sealed the tomb.

When Our Lord rose from the sealed tomb, Longinus was perplexed, and he asked God to explain to him this mystery. Our Lord sent to him the Apostle Peter, who told him everything which had been prophesied concerning the Redeemer. He believed, abandoned the military service, went back to his country, and preached the Name of Christ.

When Pilate heard about this, he wrote to Tiberius about him, who ordered his head cut off, and thus he received the crown of martyrdom.

May his prayers be with us, Amen.

No it was not St. John the Baptist.

Yes Revelation is a book of prophecy.

Safaa

Who was the first person in the New Testament to receive the Holy Spirit?

The Virgin St. Mrry, when the Archangel Gabriel announced to her the good news.

KBibo8

Safaa, you are on a roll.

St. Mary is the first person in the New Testament to receive the Holy Spirit.
Luke 1:35

35And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

Any takers for the other 2 apostles.
Hint: one was alive during the time of Christ and the other was not.

littlecopt1234

Is one of the apostles St. Mark??? and the other St. Luke??? I think.

nardin

KBibo8

No it is not St. Mark & St. Luke, both are numbered among the 70.
Hints:
1) Think about who converted after the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles.
2) The other was born after Jesus' time.

I admit this is a hard one, but someone should get at least one of the two.

for the 72 apostles, is one of them paul?
