A Faithful Core Group
Commentators identify the seven disciples as a core group that remained together after Jesus's death and resurrection. This group includes Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, James, and John (humbly called "the sons of Zebedee" by the author, John himself), plus two others, likely Andrew and Philip. Their togetherness demonstrates their continued fellowship and shared faith while waiting for Jesus.
