John Gill Commentary
"Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew," — Luke 6:14 (ASV)
Simon, whom he also named Peter
Which signifies a rock, or stone, as Cephas also does, see (John 1:42) from his constancy, steadfastness, and solidity:
and Andrew his brother ;
who was called at the same time with him, and were brethren, both in nature and grace:
James and John :
the two sons of Zebedee, who were called next:
Philip and Bartholomew ;
the latter of these is by some thought to be Nathanael.
