The 13th Disciple

This is a fictional story of the life of Jesus, as seen and recorded by an ordinary Galilean. Simple Jacob was a harmless, hard-working young man when he first came in contact with Jesus. He first saw Jesus when they were both baptised by John the Baptist and later when he came to the Sea of Galilee to recruit his disciples. Jacob felt compelled to protect Jesus faithfully until his death on the cross. He had an absolute faith in God and was one of the very few who recognised Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah, the messenger of the coming of God's kingdom, predicted in the Old Testament.
