There are lists of the twelve disciples in the following scripture passages: Matthew 10.2,3 and Mark 3.16 to 19 and Luke 6.14,15

The names might differ from passage to passage, but with a short study of these scriptures you will be able to work out 12 names.

They were called the apostles, meaning ambassadors or delegates. The word was never translated, because the rulers of this world don't like that Christ is setting up His kingdom upon this earth, and one day there will be a regime change, and they all will have to bow to Him.
