The name means Twin. Thomas was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus ([[Matthew 10:3]]; [[Mark 3:18]]). He was also called Didymus ([[John 11:16]]; [[John 20:24]]), which is the [[Greek]] equivalent of the [[Hebrew]] name. All we know regarding him is recorded in the fourth Gospel ([[John 11]]:15,16; [[John 14]]:4,5; [[John 20]]:24,25,26-29). From the circumstance that in the lists of the [[apostles]] he is always mentioned along with [[Apostle Matthew|Matthew]], who was the son of [[Alphaeus]] ([[Mark 3:18]]), and that these two are always followed by [[Apostle James|James]], who was also the son of Alphaeus, it has been supposed that these three, Matthew, Thomas, and James, were brothers.
