It's worth noting that the New Testament does not provide a comprehensive list of all the disciples of Jesus, and some of the individuals mentioned above may have been part of a larger group of followers. Additionally, the New Testament does not provide much information about the lives and ministries of many of the disciples beyond what is mentioned in the Gospels and Acts.
