Twelve ApostlesThe 12 apostles were people that were called by Jesus to follow, listen, obey and spread the word.

Jesus' disciples were:

1.) Simon (whom He named Peter)

2.) Andrew

3.) James

4.) John

5.) Philip

6.) Bartholomew

7.) Matthew

8.) Thomas

9.) James son of Alphaeus

10.) Simon who was called the Zealot

11.) Judas son of James

12.) Judas Iscariot- later replaced with faithful Matthias.

Note:

  • Several disciples had their names changed, or were given additional descriptive names or titles to distinguish one from another; for example, John and his brother James were often called the "sons of Zebedee," or the "sons of thunder."
  • There were many disciples but only 12 apostles(Mark 3:14) at any one time.
  • The listing of Judas Iscariot as number 12 is not accurate; After his betrayal of Jesus and subsequent suicide, he was replaced with a disciple named Matthias (Acts 1:15-26).
Memory HelpHere's a poem to help you remember their names:

Peter, Andrew, James and John,

fishermen of Caperneum.

Thomas and Matthew too,

Phillip and Bartholemew,

James his brother Thadeus,

Simon and the one called Judas,

twelve disciples here in all,

following the Master's call.

The book of Acts chapter 1 verse 13 gives the names of the eleven that met to pick a replacement for Judas Iscariat who betrayed Jesus. They picked Matthias as a replacement making their number 12 again.

AnswerHere is another song to help remember them:

There were 12 disciples Jesus called to help him. Simon Peter, Andrew, James, his brother John. Phillip and Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus and Simon, Judas and Bartholomew.
