Dict: easton - Thomas

easton:

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