As staed in Matthew 10:2-4, the original disciples were:
Simon (called Peter, perhaps because there was another Simon)
Andrew (Simon's brother)
James, son of Zebedee
John (James' brother)
Philip
Bartholomew
Thomas
Matthew
James, son of Alphaeus
Thaddaeus
Simon the Zealot (aka Simon the Caanite)
Judas Iscariot

P.S. The "confusion" comes from different names for some in different books of the Bible.
Bartholomew is named nathanael in John
Matthew is named Levi in Luke and M ark
Jude Thaddaeus, is Thaddaeus in Mark, Lebbaeus Thaddaeus in Matthew, and Judas of James in Luke

No problem at all! It's understandable that you're confused, as there are indeed different lists of the 12 disciples of Jesus mentioned in different sources. However, I can provide you with the commonly accepted names based on biblical accounts.
The commonly accepted names of the 12 disciples are:
1. Simon Peter
2. Andrew
3. James son of Zebedee
4. John
5. Philip
6. Bartholomew (also known as Nathanael)
7. Matthew (also known as Levi)
8. Thomas
9. James son of Alphaeus (also known as James the Less)
10. Simon the Zealot
11. Judas son of James (also known as Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus)
12. Judas Iscariot
These are the names mentioned in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Acts. Keep in mind that there is some variation in the ordering and identification of some of the disciples between different gospel accounts.
If you want to verify this information yourself or explore different interpretations, I would recommend referring to biblical sources such as the Gospels and other reliable scholarly resources related to biblical studies.
