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).

Luke 6:15 In-Context

13 When day came, he called his talmidim and chose from among them twelve to be known as emissaries:

14 Shim`on, whom he named Kefa; Andrew, his brother; Ya`akov; Yochanan; Philip; Bar-Talmai;

15 Mattityahu; T'oma; Ya`akov Ben-Halfai;

16 Shim`on, the one called the Zealot; Y'hudah Ben-Ya`akov; and Y'hudah from K'riot, who turned traitor.

17 Then he came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his talmidim was there with great numbers of people from all Y'hudah, Yerushalayim and the coast around Tzor and Tzidon; they had come to hear him and be healed of their diseases.
