Dredging my 5-decade-old Sunday School Larnin'
Simon of Galilee (called Peter by Jesus)
Andrew (Simon Peter's brother)
James, son of Zebedee
John (James' brother)
Phiip
[the five Galilean fishermen that Jesus promised to make 'fishers of

Mathew the Publican (tax collector)
Bartholomew
Thomas
James son of Alpheus (James the lesser)
Thaddeus (identified by the Catholics as St. Jude)
Simon of Canaan (Simon Zealotes)
