And Andrew,.... The brother of Peter;

and Matthew, the publican, who was called Levi;
and Thomas, who was called Didymus, from his being a twin;

and Thaddaeus, whose name was also Lebbaeus, and likewise Jude, the author of the Epistle that bears that name;
and Simon the Canaanite, or Zelotes; of these men, and their several names, See Gill on "Matthew 10:2".
