John 21:2

There were together.

Seven disciples are named, most of whom, and probably all, belonged to that very neighborhood. All that are named were apostles, unless Nathanael be an exception, who is only named in the first, second and last Chapter s of the Gospel. Most scholars regard him an apostle who appears, elsewhere, under the name of Bartholomew. The latter name is. patronymic like Barjona,. name applied to Peter, and means "the son of Tholmaius." John, one of the "sons Zebedee" was among the number.
