New Testament
Bartholomew
One of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus, often identified with Nathanael.
Bartholomew is listed among the twelve apostles in the Synoptic Gospels and the book of Acts. While the text does not explicitly equate him with Nathanael, many scholars suggest they are the same person due to their consistent association with Philip. His inclusion highlights his role as a foundational witness to the ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
