Contradictory Names Of Jesus’ Disciples in the Bible
 
 

[Matt 10:2] Matthew gives the names of the disciples of Jesus.
 
 

[Luke 6:13] But Luke mentions two names which are different

from those recorded in Matthew.
 
 
Matthew 10:2 & Mark 3:16 Luke 6:14
1 – Simon the Cananean 1 – Simon called Peter
2 – Simon called Peter 2 – Andrew his brother
3 – Andrew 3 – James the son of Zabadee
4 – James son of Zabadee 4 – John his brother
5 – John 5 – Philip
6 – Philip 6 – Bartholomew
7 – Bartholomew 7 – Matthew the tax collector
8 – Matthew 8 – Thomas
9 – Thomas 9 – James the son of Alphaues
10 – James son of Alphaues 10 – Simon the Zealot
11 – Labaous called Thadaues 11 – Judas the son of James
12 – Judas the Escariot 12 – Judas the Escario

It is stated in Matthew that Simon the Cananean was a disciple, whereas in Luke Simon the Zealot is mentioned. Also Matthew states Labaous called Thadaues to be a disciple, but Luke makes no mention of this name, rather Judas the son of James is stated instead.
