The Twelve Apostles (Early Disciples Of Jesus)

The Gospel of John does not offer a formal list of apostles, although it refers to "the twelve" in a single scene (John 6:67-71). However, the gospel does not present any elaboration of who "the twelve" actually were. There is also no separation of "apostles" and "disciples" in John. Only the following disciples are mentioned:

• Peter
• Andrew (identified as Peter's brother)
• "the sons of Zebedee" (presumably meaning John and James, although they are not named)
• Philip
• Nathanael
• Thomas (also called Didymus)^{[11:16] [20:24] [21:2]}
• Judas Iscariot
• "Judas (not Iscariot)"^[14:22](probably Thaddeus/Jude)
