This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2. Probably all seven disciples belonged to the neighbourhood; we know this of four of them. For Θωμᾶς see on Joh 11:16, Joh 14:5, Joh 20:24; all particulars about him are given by S. John [5]. S. John alone mentions Nathanael [6]; see on Joh 1:46. The descriptive addition, ὁ ἀπὸ Κανᾶ τ. Γ., occurs here only: see on Joh 2:1. If one of οἱ τ. Ζεβεδαίου were not the writer, they would have been placed first after S. Peter, instead of last of those named [7]. The omission of their personal names is in harmony with S. John’s reserve about all that is closely connected with himself [8]. The ἄλλοι δύο are probably not Apostles; otherwise, why are the names not given?
