The disciple selected by lot to replace Judas Iscariot as an apostle. He had been a follower of Christ throughout Jesus’ three-and-a-half-year ministry, had been closely associated with the apostles, and was quite likely one of the 70 disciples or evangelists whom Jesus sent out to preach.
[from a Gr. root meaning “man; male person”; probably, Manly].first a disciple of John the Baptizer. He is among the four on the Mount of Olives who ask Jesus for the sign that would mark the conclusion of the existing system of things.
Also known as Nathanael from Cana of Galilee. asked, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”. Jesus, seeing him approach, remarked: “See, an Israelite for a certainty, in whom there is no deceit.”
[English equivalent of Jacob, meaning, “One Seizing the Heel; Supplanter”].Son of Zebedee; brother of John. Jesus gave the surname Boanerges, a Semitic term meaning “Sons of Thunder.” This may have been because of the energetic, fiery, and enthusiastic nature. He was the first of the 12 apostles to die as a martyr.
Possibly was a first cousin of Jesus. In answering Jesus’ call, he and his brother left a fishing business that was a partnership that was large enough to employ hired men.
While it is possible that he once belonged to the Zealots, a Jewish party opposed to the Romans, it may instead have been due to his religious zeal that he was called “the zealous one,” or “the zealot.” Also distinguished as “Cananaean.”
Down
A Jew, otherwise known as Levi, who became an apostle of Jesus Christ and the writer of the Gospel bearing his name. He was the son of a certain Alphaeus and was a tax collector before becoming one of Jesus’ disciples.
He appears to be called elsewhere “Judas the son of James" so not to be confused with another by this name.
[from Aramaic, meaning “Twin”].He appears to have been somewhat impetuous in expressing his feelings or in voicing his doubts. However, upon having his doubts removed, he did not hesitate to make acknowledgment of his belief.
[meaning, “Fond of Horses; Horse-Loving”]. One of the earliest disciples among the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. Because of his close association with Nathanael (Bartholomew) and with the sons of Zebedee, he may have been one of the two unidentified disciples who were on the shore of the Sea of Galilee when the resurrected Jesus appeared.
[A Piece of Rock].This apostle of Jesus Christ is named in five different ways in the Scriptures. He and his brother Andrew were engaged in the fishing business. fisherman but part of an operation of some size. a married man, and at least in later years, his wife apparently accompanied him on his missions.
The only Judean among the 12 apostles, the rest being Galileans. He had been a disciple for a time before Jesus made him an apostle. He was entrusted with caring for the common finances of Jesus and the 12. That reflects favorably on his dependability at the time and his ability or education. He did become completely, inexcusably corrupt.
[English equivalent of Jehohanan, meaning “Jehovah Has Shown Favor; Jehovah Has Been Gracious”]. son of Zebedee and Salome. He was one of the three most intimately associated with Jesus. While Jesus Christ was still on earth he had indicated that he would survive the other apostles. Spoke about love more than the other Gospel writers.

Where is my puzzle?
All your puzzles are accessible from your 'My Puzzles' page, which you can access using the navigation bar at the top when you are logged in.
Be sure to log in using the same email address you used when you created your puzzle.
How do I print?
There is a 'Make Printable' button on the top left of your puzzle that will let you sign up for a plan or purchase a single puzzle.
Once paid, that button will turn into a 'Preview + Publish' button that will put your puzzle in a format that can be printed or solved online.
Once you publish your puzzle, you can click the print icon or use your browser’s print function.
It looks weird when printed.
First make sure you’ve published your puzzle. See the 'How do I print?' section above for more information.
99% of other printing issues have to do with printer settings. Instead of trying to fiddle with printer settings, which can be time-consuming and frustrating, there are a couple workarounds you can try.
You can try printing from a different browser, since different browsers have different default print settings. Alternately, you can try saving as a PDF (next to the print icon) and print that.
Why isn’t this free?
We invested in building a number of premium features that free sites are unable to offer: the ability to automatically or manually add words to your puzzle, save-as-you-go puzzle editing, the ability to access your puzzles from any computer, an uncluttered and ad-free interface, the ability for friends and colleagues to solve your puzzles online, and quick responsiveness to reported issues.
My Crossword Maker is the lowest-price service we've found that provides these features, and is designed for people who are not satisfied with what free sites are able to provide.
I thought this was free.
We’re sorry you thought My Crossword Maker was free, that must have been frustrating.
We’re constantly trying to provide a clear and straightforward user experience, and we’re not trying to hide the price: on the page where you make your puzzle, the price is listed in the overview in the top left (before you log in), below the 'Make Printable' button (after you log in), in the FAQ below the grid, and also in the tour.
Unfortunately, we have limited control over how we show up in Google and on other sites, so if they show My Crossword Maker when someone searches for a free site we can’t do anything about that.
It says there is no account with my email.
First check whether you used a different email address to create your account. Your login email is the email address where you received a welcome email from us.
Alternately, it’s possible there was a typo in your email when you created your account. If so, report an issue below and provide the name and last four digits on the card you used when you signed up. We’ll use this information to track down your account.
I am being asked to pay a second time.
If you are a member of My Crossword Maker and are still being asked for payment, then you may have inadvertently created a second account.
Your paid account will have the email address where you received an email confirming your subscription.
If you never received such an email, or are still unable to find your paid account, report an issue below and provide the name and last four digits on the card you used when you signed up. We’ll use this information to track down your account.
My password reset isn’t working.
For security a human can’t see or reset your password, so read the below information carefully.
If you haven’t gotten the password reset email, check your spam folder, be sure you’re checking the email account that the email was sent to, and be aware that some school email systems block emails from non-school email addresses.
If you have the password reset email but the password isn’t accepted, be sure you are using the most recent password reset email: sometimes people will hit the button twice, and only the second password will work.
Be sure if you copy-paste the password not to get a space on the outside, or if you're typing it keep in mind that it's case-sensitive and that a lower-case L can look like the number 1, etc.
How do I cancel?
You can cancel your subscription from your 'My Account' page, which you can access using the navigation bar at the top when you are logged in.
Support representatives cannot cancel a subscription on your behalf.
Not all my words are in my puzzle.
When you hit the 'Arrange' button, our algorithm will try to arrange all your words on the grid, and will move words around to try to fit the most words.
This will get all the words on the grid about 90% of the time, depending on the word list. For the other 10%, you will get an alert explaining that the words that did not fit were added to the scratchpad.
It prints on two pages.
Big puzzles won’t always print on one page — the clues and grid are the smallest we could make them while keeping them readable for everyone.
That said, different browsers print in slightly different ways, so you could try using 'print preview' using a different browser (or try the PDF button) to see if you like how that looks better.
I didn’t hear back from you.
We generally respond to all reported issues in about a day. If it’s been a few days and you haven’t heard back from us, it’s possible we sent an email that didn’t reach you.
Check your spam folder, and be aware that some school email systems block emails from non-school email addresses. Try providing a different email address if you think our emails to you are being blocked.
