That's hard to say. Revelation is almost certainly a hoax, and Paul never met Jesus.

Luke for certain and John Mark supposedly saw him at the night of the Last Supper, but only in passing, he didn't actually "know" him while he was alive.

John and James for sure and Peter.

The Gospels contain different source overlaps and progressive contradictions, and Johns account was supposedly written to "fix" mistakes that were made in the other three accounts.

Rabbi Tovia Singer did a hour and a half discussion of the obvious contradictions in the four Gospel accounts where he proves some of them are just flat out fabricated, so it's possible not even one "New Testament" book is authentic, either because it's not an accurate translation or has been doctored or fabricated completely..

Unless you read a 2000 year old bible in ancient hebrew, none of the writers (or better translators and editors) have met Jesus.

And who knows, maybe even the 2000 year old bible is writrn by people who never met Jesus.

[CountryWanderer]

Probably least 6, maybe 7. Peter and John are obvious, as are Jude and James, Jesus' half brothers. John Mark is believed to have met him, though it's not directly said. Luke might have. Paul met Jesus after the Ascension through a divine intervention, so a special case but still meeting him.

[BCRanger10]

At least eight of them. Moses, Elijah, Matthew, John, Paul, Peter, James, and Jude.

[Asker]

Moses died 1400 years before Jesus was born. Elijah died 850 years before Jesus was born.

[BCRanger10]

Yes, but they also saw and spoke with Jesus at the Transfiguration.

Additionally, Elijah technically didn't "die". At the end of his earthly life, he was carried to Heaven in a fiery chariot.

The bible did not exist in the time of Jesus.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Moses.

Peter.

John.

Paul.

and maybe 1 or 2 more people, but that's it.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

James is another one.

[Asker]

Moses died 1400 years before Jesus was born.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Jesus always existed. Jesus was the one who gave Moses the law.

[legalboxers]

None. The Bible is real.. everything else is just a copy and interpreted by lay people who want to twist and turn it to fit their narrative!
