What were the names of the disciples?

Matthew 10:2 & Mark 3:16Luke 6:14
1 – Simon the Cananean1 – Simon called Peter
2 – Simon called Peter2 – Andrew his brother
3 – Andrew3 – James the son of Zabadee
4 – James son of Zabadee4 – John his brother
5 – John5 – Philip
6 – Philip6 – Bartholomew
7 – Bartholomew7 – Matthew the tax collector
8 – Matthew8 – Thomas
9 – Thomas9 – James the son of Alphaues
10 – James son of Alphaues10 – Simon the Zealot
11 – Labaous called Thadaues11 – Judas the son of James
12 – Judas the Escariot12 – 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.

Below the Talmud tells us there was only five disciples ?

Talmud Sanhedrin 43a  It is taught: Yeshu had five disciples - Matai, Nekai, Netzer, Buni, and Todah. 


Another biblical dilemma, also have you notice Luke and Mark are not mentioned as a disciple?

The true God whom Christians are avoiding.

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true...
