10 Jesus called together his twelve disciples. He gave them the power to force out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and sickness. 2 The first of the twelve apostles was Simon, better known as Peter. His brother Andrew was an apostle, and so were James and John, the two sons of Zebedee. 3 Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus were also apostles. 4 The others were Simon, known as the Eager One, and Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed Jesus. (Matthew 10:1-4, Contemporary English Version)

The New Testament.
AnswerAccording to the New Testament, Nazareth was the childhood home of Jesus.
Beside the 12 disciples that followed Jesus there were many disciples mentioned, in fact too many to mention. Their names are found in almost all the books of the New Testament.
Matthias, a follower of Jesus along with the twelve chosen Apostles, was chosen by a drawing (lot) of the shorter stick. Peter supervised this activity. This was done in response to the Old Testament prophecy "that another shall take his (the traitors) place". However, many bible scholars feel that the man Saul, who's name was later changed to Paul, was the God-appointed Apostle to take Judas Iscariots' place. Since there were hundreds of "disciples" under Jesus' ministry, the original 12 were not considered more holy or chosen than other men--they were simply the ones that Jesus chose to Tudor and mentor during this 3 year period. They were told to "go and make disciples" too.
