Bartholomew the Apostle
Bartholomew (, ) was one of the
Twelve Apostles of
Jesus. He has been identified with
Nathanael (alternatively spelled Nathaniel), who appears in the
Gospel according to John as being introduced to
Christ by
Philip (who would also become an apostle), although most modern commentators reject the identification of Nathanael with Bartholomew.

About
Bartholomew
son of Tolmai, one of the twelve apostles (Matt. 10:3; Acts 1:13); generally supposed to have been the same as Nathanael. In the synoptic gospels Philip and Bartholomew are always mentioned together, while Nathanael is never mentioned; in the fourth gospel, on the other hand, Philip and Nathanael are similarly mentioned together, but nothing is said of Bartholomew. He was one of the disciples to whom our Lord appeared at the Sea of Tiberias after his resurrection (John 21:2). He was also a witness of the Ascension (Acts 1:4, 12, 13). He was an "Israelite indeed" (John 1:47).
