The Apostles (according to me, with some input from other sources):
Andrew
Bartholomew (also known as Nathaniel, that should be easier)
James
Judas
Jude
John
Matthew
Paul
Peter
Philip
Simon
Thomas
Bonus: Jesus (since Judas is such a tough one)
I included Paul because there are already 2 of James and I wanted 12 unique names. If you’ve known 6 different John’s /Jonathan’s, sorry that still counts as only one apostle.
So, how many apostles have you known in the biblical sense?

Which apostles of Jesus Christ have you known? In the biblical sense, of course.

In a strictly Biblical sense, it's the men who do the "knowing" and women who are "known". *NM*
