Meet Bartholomew.
One of the Twelve.
Who was Bartholomew?
Bartholomew is named among Jesus' twelve apostles. The Gospel lists give his name but do not provide a separate detailed story about him. Some traditions identify him with Nathanael, though the text does not explicitly do so.
Bartholomew belongs to the group Jesus called and sent. We can learn about that shared calling without inventing private details about his life.
