How many pairs of brothers were listed among the twelve apostles?

The twelve are mentioned in Matthew 10:2-4. "Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him." You can easily see two sets of brothers here: Peter and Andrew, the sons of Jonas; and James and John, the sons of Zebedee. In Acts 1:13, we see that James the son of Alphaeus had a brother in the twelve as well. It is probably Lebbaeus, surnamed Thaddaeus, but in Acts he is called Judas, the brother of James. In other places he is called Judas not Iscariot, to identify him apart from the Judas that betrayed Jesus. So there were three pairs of brothers in the twelve.

∙ 13y agoPeter and Andrew were brothers.
John and James (the elder) were brothers.
It's uncertain, but possible that Matthew and James (the younger) were brothers; both are said to be the "son of Alphaeus" (Mark 2:14 and Mark 3:18).

∙ 12y agoBoth James and Jude (Epistles of each) are noted as being Jesus' half-brothers which all having the same mother, Mary.
Only James claims to be an Apostle. Indeed, he was the Head of the Church of God in Jerusalem after Peter had to leave and establish his center in Babylon.
Two pairs of brothers were listed among the twelve apostles: James and John, the sons of Zebedee, and Simon Peter and Andrew.

Who was the apostle whose name started with B?
Bartholomew and Barnabas are two of several apostles documented in the scriptures. The Book of Luke lists the names of the twelve apostles Jesus chose. Bartholomew, also known as Nathaniel, is listed among them. Luke 6:13,14 "And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James, and John, Philip, and Bartholomew..." The Book of Acts records the ordination of two men by revelation and signified by the laying on of hands. Barnabas and Paul were ordained apostles. Acts 13:2,3 "As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away." Acts 14:14 "Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they..."
Are there more then twelve apostles in the Bible?
Yes. The Greek word apostolos means "a delegate, a messenger; one sent forth with orders." While the word most often applies to Jesus' chosen twelve (of whom Judas Iscariot was replaced by Matthias in Acts chapter 1), it is also applied in a broader sense to other eminent NT Christian teachers. Paul and Barnabas are both called apostles in Acts 14:14 - But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out...Also, Paul's fellow-workers Timothy and Silvanus - while not specifically called "apostles" - are referred to as sharing the work of the apostles (2 Corinthians 1:19).

Is it true the apostles were all illiterate?
I wouldn't say that. Today we think illiterate to mean unable to read or write or having a very limited education/schooling. In the 1st Century, parents and the religious centers would educate the children - particularly the male children. So each of the Apostles knew the Scripture and could read and probably write. The twelve disciples/apostles were ordinary men whom God used in an extraordinary manner. Among the twelve were fishermen, a tax collector, and a revolutionary. The calling of the Apostle to the Gentiles, Saul of Tarsus aka Paul, was a well educated Pharisee under the tutelage of the scholar Gamaliel.
Were the twelve apostles from the 12 tribes of israel?
No, they were just ordinary people that Jesus met on his journeys from city to city, they were usually the people that no one liked or cared about like tax collectors and sinners. Watch out! The answer above is a less than adequate answer to the question! If the question is, 'Were all twelve apostles from the 12 tribes of Israel?' (that is, 'Were they all Israelites?'), the answer is yes, all twelve were from the 12 tribes of Israel; they were all Israelites. However, if the questions is, 'Were each of the twelve apostles descendants of a distinct tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel?', the answer is no. Among the twelve apostles there were several pairs of brothers, making it impossible that they could each be a member of a separate tribe. While some of the 12 that Jesus chose were rejected by general society, such as Matthew, a tax collector for the Roman government, some were from prestigious and well-thought-of families, such as James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who worked as fishermen in the north of the country, but had a home in Jerusalem (Jn. 19:26-27) and were known personally to the High Priest (Jn. 18:15-16). One, Simon the Zealot, may have been part of a strict party of Jews unafraid to use violence to defend the purity of Judaism, which probably made him greatly admired (or feared) in some sectors and looked down on in others. The majority of the twelve, however, seem to have been average people. Peter, for example, was a married man with his own home, working with his brother in their own business (Matt. 8:14; 4:18).These average men had their lives turned upside down by the teaching and life of Jesus.
