Andrew was the brother of Peter and a son of Jonas. He lived in Bethsaida and Capernaum and was a fisherman before he was called by Jesus. Originally he was a disciple of John the Baptist (Mark 1:16-18). Andrew brought his brother, Peter, to Jesus (John 1:40)
Bartholomew Nathanael son of Talmai lived in Cana of Galilee. Tradition says he was a missionary in Armenia; some scholars believe that he was the only disciple who came from royal blood, or noble birth. His name means Son of Tolmai or Talmai (2 Sam. 3:3). Talmai was king of Geshur whose daughter, Maacah, was the wife of David, mother of Absalom.
James the Elder, Boanerges, son of Zebedee and Salome, brother of John the Apostle; a fisherman who lived in Bethsaida, Capernaum and Jerusalem.
James the Lesser or Younger, son of Alpheus, or Cleophas, and Mary lived in Galilee. He was the brother of the Apostle Jude.
John Boanerges son of Zebedee and Salome, brother of James, the Apostle. He was known as this Beloved Disciple. A fisherman who lived in Bethsaida, Capernaum and Jerusalem
Judas Iscariot, the traitor, son of Simon who lived in Kerioth
Jude, Thaddeus, or Lebbeus, son of Alpheus or Cleophas and Mary. He was a brother of James the Younger. He was one of the very little-known Apostles and lived in Galilee. Jerome called Jude "Trinomious" which means "a man with three names." In Mark 3:18 he is called Thaddeus. In Matthew 10:3 he is called Lebbeus. His surname was Thaddeus. In Luke 6:16 and Acts 1:13 he is called Judas the brother of James. Judas Thaddeus also was called Judas, the Zealot.
Matthew, or Levi, son of Alpheus, lived in Capernaum. He was a publican or tax collector.
Simon Peter, son of Jonas, was a fisherman who lived in Bethsaida and Capernaum.
Philip came from Bethsaida, the town from which Peter and Andrew came (John 1:44). The likelihood is that he, too, was a fisherman
Simon, the Zealot, one of the little-known followers called the Canaanite or Zelotes, lived in Galilee. In two places in the King James Version, he is called a Canaanite (Mat. 10:4; Mark 3:18). However in the other two places, he is called Simon Zelotes (Luke 6: 15; Acts 1:13).
Thomas Didymus lived in Galilee.

Very Useful one Thnks God blessssss
Thanks*
This particular site gave me the information I needed for part of a series of messages I’m preparing for Jr. Church (3rd-5th grade). Glad it’s here. Thank you very much!
Thank you! It makes our efforts all worthwhile.
I was told today but a religion professor that the whole new test met was written in Greek and translated into English. I think she was incorrect. But because she was a teacher. I I’m giving her the benefit without however. If I remember I believe we’ll need 2 of his disciples. Where Greek correct immediately greet people showed up for Jesus. I know that.
The tax collector I think he was outside of he brew and Greek Judas. I’m not sure about you all I know is some sort of say he was Jesus. His favorite it’s pretty much essential just as essential is jesus
I know certain life John. The Baptist who kept Jesus protected as long as he did was the same as the ferrises. And they are terrified of him not so much Jesus. As soon as he died they pretty much went after Jesus however apparently and I will research it myself later Andrew and Peter where related to John the Baptist and Peter cut off one of their ears when they came for Jesus so these three likely could have kept Jesus safe if Jesus wanted however was fulfilling the prophecy.
This is quit commendable,pls keep it up
Educating. Thanks
Thanks
This site was quitea informative…thank you
Can You email me what the 12 apostels jobs were before they followed Jesus?
it only tells me about Mathew a tax collector, and The 2 brothers James and John were fisherman, and the 2 other brothers were fisherman. I would like to know what the rest of them did as a job before they followed christ… Please let me know where i can find this info , as i am doing an important project on this, would really appreciate it…..
No one knows for sure. We have just a few records from those times with these people mentioned.
No body know a lot about a lot of things in the bible, weather they are true or have been changed or left out.
Don’t see the word of God anywhere here. Uninspiring
Am totally perplexed
This is a great website! I totally recommend it! Especially if you’re sing it for a project. But, this is also really helpful to people who have questions about the bible, and this question would probably be “What did Jesus’ disciples/apostles do before they became a disciple/apostle?” Thanks again for this site.
*Using
So if Peter Andrew were related to John, the Baptist, then they would have wrote anything in Hebrew, am I. Correct?
