[37:7] “As St John never mentions Bartholomew in the number of the apostles, so the other evangelists never take notice of Nathanael, probably because the same person under two several names; and as in John, Philip and Nathanael are joined together in their coming to Christ, so in the rest of the evangelists, Philip and Bartholomew are constantly put together without the least variation.”—­Cave’s Lives of the Apostles.  Life of Bartholomew.  Compare Matt. x. 3; Acts i. 13; and John i. 45, xxl. 2.

[38:3] Mark xv. 40.  He was in some way related to our Lord, and hence called His brother (Gal. i. 19).  But though Mary, the mother of our Saviour, had evidently several sons (see Matt. i. 20, 25, compared with Matt. xiii. 55; Mark vi. 3; Matt. xii. 46, 47), they were not disciples when the apostles wore appointed, and none of them consequently could have been of the Twelve. (See John vii. 5).  The other sons of Mary, who must all have been younger than Jesus, seem to have been converted about the time of the resurrection.  Hence they are found among the disciples before the day of Pentecost (Acts i. 14).

[38:8] Mark vi. 7.  “Although no two of these catalogues (of the Twelve) agree precisely in the order of the names, they may all be divided into three quaternions, which are never interchanged, and the leading names of which are the same in all.  Thus the first is always Peter, the fifth Philip, the ninth James the son of Alpheus, and the twelfth Judas Iscariot.  Another difference is that Matthew and Luke’s Gospel gives the names in pairs, or two and two, while Mark enumerates them singly, and the list before us (in the Acts) follows both, these methods, one after the other.”—­Alexander on the Acts, vol. i. p. 19.
