The names of the apostles inscribed on the 12 gates of the New Jerusalem, as described in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 21:12-14), are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. However, the specific names of the apostles associated with the gates are typically understood to represent the twelve apostles of Jesus, traditionally including Peter, James, John, Andrew, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the Less, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot, Philip, and Judas Iscariot (though the latter is sometimes replaced by Matthias, who was chosen to replace him).
