“Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes,”
Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot — Matthew (the tax collector of chapter 5), Thomas (who will be remembered for doubting), James son of Alphaeus (distinguished from James son of Zebedee), and Simon the Zealot (possibly a former member of the revolutionary movement, whose inclusion alongside Matthew the Roman collaborator is itself a statement about the kingdom's politics).
