Doubting Thomas, was called 'Thomas Didymus' ('Didymus' is Greek for 'twin'), but (strangely, having made such a point of it) there is no record of who his twin was. Curiouser still, , 'Thomas' is derived from the Aramaic word for ... (wait for it) ... 'twin'! Why such a fuss to tell us he is a twin, but not who is twin was? Unless, of course, it was obvious to those who wrote about him, but didn't want to shout about it. It would explain why he was so hard to convince about the nature of his brother...
