Utter nonsense; the only people who accused the Apostles of Sabbath-breaking were Pharisees.
The '''Twelve Apostles''' or The Twelve Disciples were the twelve followers of [[Jesus]] while He walked the earth. Jesus called each of them to Him at the start of His earthly ministry and they followed Him during the three years of his teaching. While making many gaffes and having difficulty understanding all that Jesus was, after His [[crucifixion]] and [[Resurrection]] and the imparting of the [[Holy Spirit]], they became men of great valor and the forefathers of [[Christianity]].

Two of the Apostles authored [[Gospels]]: [[John]] and [[Matthew]]. The other two Gospel authors were the outsider eyewitness [[Mark]] and the historian [[Luke]], both of whom knew the Apostles and Mark was unflattering towards them in [[Gospel of Mark|his Gospel]].
