<P> The canonical gospels and the book of Acts give varying names of the twelve apostles . The list in the Gospel of Luke differs from Matthew and Mark at two points . It lists "Judas the son of James" instead of "Thaddeus". (For more information, see Jude the Apostle .) </P> <P> Unlike the Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of John does not offer a formal list of apostles . Although it refers to "the Twelve" (John 6: 67--71), the gospel does not present any elaboration of who these twelve actually were and the author of the Gospel of John does not mention them all by name . There is also no separation of the terms "apostles" and "disciples" in John . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Gospel of Matthew </Th> <Th> Gospel of Mark </Th> <Th> Gospel of Luke </Th> <Th> Gospel of John </Th> <Th> Acts of the Apostles </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Simon ("who is called Peter") </Td> <Td> Simon </Td> <Td> Simon </Td> <Td> Simon Peter </Td> <Td> Peter </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Andrew ("his (Peter's) brother") </Td> <Td> Andrew </Td> <Td> Andrew </Td> <Td> Andrew </Td> <Td> Andrew </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> James ("son of Zebedee") </Td> <Td> James </Td> <Td> James </Td> <Td> one of the "sons of Zebedee" </Td> <Td> James </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> John ("his (James's) brother") </Td> <Td> John / one of the "Boanerges" </Td> <Td> John </Td> <Td> one of the "sons of Zebedee" </Td> <Td> John </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Philip </Td> <Td> Philip </Td> <Td> Philip </Td> <Td> Philip </Td> <Td> Philip </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Bartholomew </Td> <Td> Bartholomew </Td> <Td> Bartholomew </Td> <Td> Nathanael </Td> <Td> Bartholomew </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Thomas </Td> <Td> Thomas </Td> <Td> Thomas </Td> <Td> Thomas ("also called Didymus") </Td> <Td> Thomas </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Matthew ("the publican") </Td> <Td> Matthew </Td> <Td> Matthew </Td> <Td> not mentioned </Td> <Td> Matthew </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> James ("son of Alphaeus") </Td> <Td> James </Td> <Td> James </Td> <Td> not mentioned </Td> <Td> James </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Lebbaeus ("whose surname was Thaddaeus") </Td> <Td> Thaddaeus </Td> <Td> Judas ("son of James") </Td> <Td> Jude ("not Iscariot") </Td> <Td> Judas son of James </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Simon ("the Canaanite") </Td> <Td> Simon ("the Cananaean") </Td> <Td> Simon ("who was called the Zealot") </Td> <Td> not mentioned </Td> <Td> Simon the Zealot </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Judas Iscariot </Td> <Td> Judas Iscariot </Td> <Td> Judas Iscariot </Td> <Td> Judas ("son of Simon Iscariot") </Td> <Td> (Judas replaced by Matthias) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Gospel of Matthew </Th> <Th> Gospel of Mark </Th> <Th> Gospel of Luke </Th> <Th> Gospel of John </Th> <Th> Acts of the Apostles </Th> </Tr>
