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?
