the twelve disciples i know of for sure
Jesus' disciples were primarily Jewish.
The names of Jesus' 12 disciples were Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot. They were mostly fishermen and tax collectors.
The name of the first four disciples were Andrew, Peter, James and john. These four were fishermen.
Their names were common names for the time period. Example: Jude, Judas, Jesus are all variations of the same name.
