John 14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” Matthew 13:55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? John 6:70-71 Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!” / He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus. Acts 12:2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. Matthew 4:21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them, John 1:45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” Matthew 26:14-16 Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests / and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver. / So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus. John 13:26-27 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this morsel after I have dipped it.” Then He dipped the morsel and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. / And when Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” 1 Kings 19:19-21 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve teams of oxen, and he was with the twelfth team.

Using the oxen’s equipment for fuel, he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow and serve Elijah. 2 Kings 2:1-3 Shortly before the LORD took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal, / and Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. / Then the sons of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.” Isaiah 8:16 Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples.

A Tree and Its Fruit 46. The House on the Rock Matthew and Thomas; Matthew, also known as Levi, was a tax collector before following Jesus. Tax collectors were often despised by the Jewish people for collaborating with the Roman authorities and for their reputation of being dishonest. Matthew's inclusion as a disciple highlights Jesus' mission to reach out to sinners and those marginalized by society. His transformation from a tax collector to a disciple underscores the power of Jesus' call and the theme of redemption. Thomas, often referred to as "Doubting Thomas," is best known for his initial skepticism about Jesus' resurrection until he saw Jesus with his own eyes (John 20:24-29). This moment emphasizes the importance of faith and belief in the unseen, a recurring theme in the New Testament. Thomas' eventual declaration of Jesus as "My Lord and my God" is a profound acknowledgment of Jesus' divine nature. James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot; Persons / Places / Events 1. MatthewAlso known as Levi, he was a tax collector before being called by Jesus to be one of His disciples. His transformation from a tax collector to a follower of Christ is a testament to the power of Jesus' call. 2. Thomas Often referred to as "Doubting Thomas" due to his initial skepticism about Jesus' resurrection. His journey from doubt to faith is significant in understanding the nature of belief. 3. James son of Alphaeus Sometimes called "James the Less" to distinguish him from James, the brother of John. Not much is detailed about him in the Gospels, but his inclusion as an apostle highlights the diversity of Jesus' followers. 4. Simon called the Zealot Known for his zeal and possibly his association with the Zealots, a Jewish political movement. His background suggests a radical transformation in following Jesus, who preached peace. Teaching Points Transformation through ChristThe calling of Matthew and Simon illustrates that Jesus can transform anyone, regardless of their past or political affiliations. This encourages believers to embrace the transformative power of Christ in their own lives. Faith in the Midst of Doubt Thomas' journey from doubt to faith teaches us that questioning can lead to a deeper understanding and stronger faith. Believers are encouraged to seek truth and assurance in Christ. Unity in Diversity The diverse backgrounds of the apostles, including a tax collector and a Zealot, show that the body of Christ is made up of individuals from all walks of life. This diversity should be celebrated and seen as a strength in the church. Commitment to Christ's Mission The apostles' willingness to leave their former lives and follow Jesus is a call for believers to prioritize their commitment to Christ above all else.Verse 15. - Matthew. In the list contained in the Gospel which unanimous Church traditions ascribe to this apostle, "the publican" (tax-gatherer) is significantly added. His brother evangelists, Mark and Luke, in their catalogues, omit the hated profession to which he once belonged. Simon called Zelotes. In SS. Matthew and Mark this apostle is called "Simon the Kananite." This epithet does not mean that Simon was a native or dweller in Cana of Galilee, but the epithet "Kananite" had the same signification as "Zelotes," the surname given by St. Luke, which is best rendered as "the Zealot." Kananite is derived from the Hebrew word קנא, zeal. "He had once, therefore, belonged to the sect of terrible fanatics who thought any deed of violence justifiable for the recovery of national freedom, and had probably been one of the wild followers of Judas the Gaulonite (Josephus, 'Bell. Jud.,' 4:03. 9). Their name was derived from 1 Macc. 2:50, where the dying Mattathias, father of Judas Maccabaeus, says to the Assidaeans (Chasidim, i.e. 'all such as were voluntarily devoted to the Law'), 'Be ye zealous for the Law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers'" (Archdeacon Farrar).
