John doesnt mention them all..
Acts mentions them and the one who replaced.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...
Barnabas - a missionary "sent out" by the Jerusalem apostles (Acts 11:22, 30; 12:25), later by the Church of Antioch (Acts 13:1-15:39); Luke and Paul explicitly call him an "apostle" (Acts 14:14; 1 Cor 9:1-6).
Paul - often calls himself an "apostle" of Jesus, esp. in beginning his letters (Rom 1:1; 1 Cor 1:1; 2 Cor 1:1; Gal 1:1; Eph 1:1; etc), or when stressing his equal status with the other apostles (Rom 11:13; 1 Cor 9:1-5; 15-10; 2 Cor 12:12; Gal 1:17-19).
Apollos - never individually called an "apostle," but clearly included when Paul refers to "us apostles" (1 Cor 4:9; cf. 1:12; 3:4—4:6)
Silas & Timothy - again, not called "apostles" individually, but included when Paul says, "we... as apostles of Christ" (1 Thess 2)
Andronicus and Junia - a married couple (or brother & sister?), "relatives" of Paul, who are "prominent among the apostles" (Rom 16)

Lebbaeus Thaddeus - He's named in Matthew 10 and Mark 3 lists, but replaced by Judas of James in the Luke 6 and Acts 1 lists.

What a bunch of losers.

Crooks.
Thieves.
Fishermen who likely smelled worse than their feet.
A tax collector. (As Max Lucado wrote, probably "had his bookie on speed dial."
A doubter. (I wont believe it till I see it.)

The high school bullies would probably run and hide if they saw this gang of cads walking down the hall.

But...
.
.
.
These are the kind of people Jesus loved.
And look what meeting Jesus did to them.

Greetins from Calgary Alberta.
Canada's wild west.

BT.. I am thinking there was a method to his work.
He chose for a reason..

And I am looking at all this here...
The first part of ACTS ... I am loving that ..

If I am following Jesus and I goof...
I need to start ALL over... kind of backtract to find out where my wrong turn was and make it right.

And I think that is WHY we have so many religions and sects after he left.
ONE person got off on the wrong foot following Jesus... gathered a congregation..
Someone IN that congregation disagreed.. so rather than GO BACK TO JESUS.. the doctrine was accepted except for what that person thought was the error.

Now we are all way off target.
