Luke 6:15 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:15

Matthew and Thomas
The first of these was a publican, and who also was called Levi; and the latter had besides the name of Didymus, and was he that was so unbelieving of Christ's resurrection:

James the son of Alphaeus;
sometimes called James the less, and the brother of our Lord: and

Simon called Zelotes;
or the Canaanite; (See Gill on Matthew 10:4).

13 And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles:

14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot,

16 and Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17 He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon.
