The original twelve disciples of the Messiah are named in Matthew 10:2-4, Mark 3:16-17, Luke 6:13-16, John 1:40, 13.2, etc., and Acts 1:13 [minus Judas Iscariot (Yehuda Skaryota)].
Ten of the names are quite consistent.
Nathaniel in John is referred to as Bartholomew in the other books. He is apparently identifiable as Nathaniel Bar-Tulmay in the Aramaic text.
The mystery for me is Lebbaeus Thaddaeus (Lewi Taddi) in Matthew and Mark who doesn't appear in the other books. In his place is Judas son of James (Yehuda bar Ya'akov) or Judas not Iscariot (Yehuda not Skaryota).
What's going on here?
