One of the twelve apostles, Matthew 10:3 Mark 3:18 Luke 6:14 Acts 1:13 . He is named in connection with Philip, and seems to have been the same person, whom John calls Nathanael, John 1:45-51 , and mentions among the other apostles, John 21:2 . Nathanael may have been his real name, and Bar-tholomew, that is, son of Tolmai, his patronymic and best-known name. See APOSTLE and NATHANAEL .
