Across
The disciple selected by lot to replace Judas Iscariot as an apostle. He had been a follower of Christ throughout Jesus’ three-and-a-half-year ministry, had been closely associated with the apostles, and was quite likely one of the 70 disciples or evangelists whom Jesus sent out to preach.

Jesus gave the surname Boanerges, a Semitic term meaning “Sons of Thunder.” This may have been because of the energetic, fiery, and enthusiastic nature. He was the first of the 12 apostles to die as a martyr.
Possibly was a first cousin of Jesus. In answering Jesus’ call, he and his brother left a fishing business that was a partnership that was large enough to employ hired men.

[meaning, “Fond of Horses; Horse-Loving”]. One of the earliest disciples among the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. Because of his close association with Nathanael (Bartholomew) and with the sons of Zebedee, he may have been one of the two unidentified disciples who were on the shore of the Sea of Galilee when the resurrected Jesus appeared.

The only Judean among the 12 apostles, the rest being Galileans. He had been a disciple for a time before Jesus made him an apostle.

He did become completely, inexcusably corrupt.
