Subjects in this Topic:
BARTHOLOMEW.—One of the Twelve, mentioned only in the lists of the Apostles (Mat_10:3 = Mar_3:18 = Luk_6:14). Jerome says that he wrote a Gospel, preached to the Indians, and died at Albanopolis in Armenia. Bartholomew is really not a name, but a patronymic—Bar Talmai = ‘son of Talmai’ (cf. 2Sa_13:37). See Nathanael.
