Philip and Bartholomew--That this person is the same with "Nathanael of Cana in Galilee" is justly concluded for the three following reasons: First, because Bartholomew is not so properly an individual's name as a family surname; next, because not only in this list, but in Mark's and Luke's (Mar 3:18; Luk 6:14), he follows the name of "Philip," who was the instrument of bringing Nathanael first to Jesus (Joh 1:45); and again, when our Lord, after His resurrection, appeared at the Sea of Tiberias, "Nathanael of Cana in Galilee" is mentioned along with six others, all of them apostles, as being present (Joh 21:2).
Matthew the publican--In none of the four lists of the Twelve is this apostle so branded but in his own, as if he would have all to know how deep a debtor he had been to his Lord. (See on Mat 1:3; Mat 9:9).
James the son of Alphaeus--the same person apparently who is called Cleopas or Clopas (Luk 24:18; Joh 19:25); and, as he was the husband of Mary, sister to the Virgin, James the Less must have been our Lord's cousin.
and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus--the same, without doubt, as "Judas the brother of James," mentioned in both the lists of Luke (Luk 6:16; Act 1:13), while no one of the name of Lebbaeus or Thaddaeus is so. It is he who in John (Joh 14:22) is sweetly called "Judas, not Iscariot." That he was the author of the Catholic Epistle of "Jude," and not "the Lord's brother" (Mat 13:55), unless these be the same, is most likely. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Philip and Bartholomew - These two were probably sent out together. Philip was a native of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. He is not the same as Philip the evangelist, mentioned in Act 6:5; Act 21:8. Bartholomew (literally, "the son of Tolmai").
Thomas - Literally, "a twin," in reference to which he is also called "Didymus," Joh 11:16. For his character, see the notes at Joh 20:25. "And Matthew the publican." See the notes at Mat 9:9. "James the son of Alpheus." See the note above.
And Lebbeus, called Thaddeus - These two words have the same signification in Hebrew. Luke calls him "Judas," by a slight change from the name "Thaddeus." Such changes are common in all writings. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Lebbeus - Commonly called Judas, the brother of James. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Bartholomew - Many are of opinion that this was Nathanael, mentioned Joh 1:46, whose name was probably Nathanael bar Talmai, Nathanael, the son of Talmai: here, his own name is repressed, and he is called Bar Talmai, or Bartholomew, from his father.
Matthew the publican - The writer of this history. See the preface.
James the son of Alpheus - This person was also called Cleopas, or Clopas, Luk 24:18; Joh 19:25. He had married Mary, sister to the blessed Virgin, Joh 19:25. |
55 Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] the carpenter's [5045] son [5207]? is [3004] not [3780] his [846] mother [3384] called [3004] Mary [3137]? and [2532] his [846] brethren [80], James [2385], and [2532] Joses [2500], and [2532] Simon [4613], and [2532] Judas [2455]?
22 Judas [2455] saith [3004] unto him [846], not [3756] Iscariot [2469], Lord [2962], how [5101] is it [1096] that [3754] thou wilt [3195] manifest [1718] thyself [4572] unto us [2254], and [2532] not [3780] unto the world [2889]?
13 And [2532] when [3753] they were come in [1525], they went up [305] into [1519] an upper room [5253], where [3757] abode [2258] [2650] both [5037] Peter [4074], and [2532] James [2385], and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] Andrew [406], Philip [5376], and [2532] Thomas [2381], Bartholomew [918], and [2532] Matthew [3156], James [2385] the son of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Simon [4613] Zelotes [2208], and [2532] Judas [2455] the brother of James [2385].
16 And Judas [2455] the brother of James [2385], and [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], which [3739] also [2532] was [1096] the traitor [4273].
25 Now [1161] there stood [2476] by [3844] the cross [4716] of Jesus [2424] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] his [846] mother's [3384] sister [79], Mary [3137] the wife [3588] of Cleophas [2832], and [2532] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094].
18 And [1161] the one of them [1520], whose [3739] name [3686] was Cleopas [2810], answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Art thou [4771] only [3441] a stranger [3939] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] hast [1097] not [3756] known [1097] the things which are come to pass [1096] there [1722] [846] in [1722] these [5025] days [2250]?
9 And as [2532] Jesus [2424] passed forth [3855] from thence [1564], he saw [1492] a man [444], named [3004] Matthew [3156], sitting [2521] at [1909] the receipt of custom [5058]: and [2532] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]. And [2532] he arose [450], and followed [190] him [846].
3 And [1161] Judas [2455] begat [1080] Phares [5329] and [2532] Zara [2196] of [1537] Thamar [2283]; and [1161] Phares [5329] begat [1080] Esrom [2074]; and [1161] Esrom [2074] begat [1080] Aram [689];
2 There were [2258] together [3674] Simon [4613] Peter [4074], and [2532] Thomas [2381] called [3004] Didymus [1324], and [2532] Nathanael [3482] of [575] Cana [2580] in Galilee [1056], and [2532] the sons [3588] of Zebedee [2199], and [2532] two [1417] other [243] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101].
45 Philip [5376] findeth [2147] Nathanael [3482], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], We have found [2147] him, of whom [3739] Moses [3475] in [1722] the law [3551], and [2532] the prophets [4396], did write [1125], Jesus [2424] of [575] Nazareth [3478], the son [5207] of Joseph [2501].
14 Simon [4613], (whom [3739] he also [2532] named [3687] Peter [4074],) and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80], James [2385] and [2532] John [2491], Philip [5376] and [2532] Bartholomew [918],
18 And [2532] Andrew [406], and [2532] Philip [5376], and [2532] Bartholomew [918], and [2532] Matthew [3156], and [2532] Thomas [2381], and [2532] James [2385] the son [3588] of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Thaddaeus [2280], and [2532] Simon [4613] the Canaanite [2581],
9 And as [2532] Jesus [2424] passed forth [3855] from thence [1564], he saw [1492] a man [444], named [3004] Matthew [3156], sitting [2521] at [1909] the receipt of custom [5058]: and [2532] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]. And [2532] he arose [450], and followed [190] him [846].
25 The other [243] disciples [3101] therefore [3767] said [3004] unto him [846], We have seen [3708] the Lord [2962]. But [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Except [3362] I shall see [1492] in [1722] his [846] hands [5495] the print [5179] of the nails [2247], and [2532] put [906] my [3450] finger [1147] into [1519] the print [5179] of the nails [2247], and [2532] thrust [906] my [3450] hand [5495] into [1519] his [846] side [4125], I will [4100] not [3364] believe [4100].
16 Then [3767] said [2036] Thomas [2381], which [3588] is called [3004] Didymus [1324], unto his fellowdisciples [4827], Let us [71] also [2532] go [71], that [2443] we [2249] may die [599] with [3326] him [846].
8 And [1161] the next [1887] day we that were of [4012] Paul's [3972] company [4012] departed [1831], and came [2064] [2064] unto [1519] Caesarea [2542]: and [2532] we entered [1525] into [1519] the house [3624] of Philip [5376] the evangelist [2099], which was [5607] one of [1537] the seven [2033]; and abode [3306] with [3844] him [846].
5 And [2532] the saying [3056] pleased [700] [1799] the whole [3956] multitude [4128]: and [2532] they chose [1586] Stephen [4736], a man [435] full [4134] of faith [4102] and [2532] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] Philip [5376], and [2532] Prochorus [4402], and [2532] Nicanor [3527], and [2532] Timon [5096], and [2532] Parmenas [3937], and [2532] Nicolas [3532] a proselyte [4339] of Antioch [491]:
25 Now [1161] there stood [2476] by [3844] the cross [4716] of Jesus [2424] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] his [846] mother's [3384] sister [79], Mary [3137] the wife [3588] of Cleophas [2832], and [2532] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094].
25 Now [1161] there stood [2476] by [3844] the cross [4716] of Jesus [2424] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] his [846] mother's [3384] sister [79], Mary [3137] the wife [3588] of Cleophas [2832], and [2532] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094].
18 And [1161] the one of them [1520], whose [3739] name [3686] was Cleopas [2810], answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Art thou [4771] only [3441] a stranger [3939] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] hast [1097] not [3756] known [1097] the things which are come to pass [1096] there [1722] [846] in [1722] these [5025] days [2250]?
46 And [2532] Nathanael [3482] said [2036] unto him [846], Can [1410] there any [5100] good thing [18] come [1511] out of [1537] Nazareth [3478]? Philip [5376] saith [3004] unto him [846], Come [2064] and [2532] see [1492].
