Simon=Peter, Matthew=Levi, Nathanael=Bartholomew, Thomas=Didymus.

umm...well, peter and thomas were renamed by christ, as were nate and matt - according to apologies i've read. was the reason that it was common for people to go by two names because jesus spent his spare time renaming the populace?

well, if jude is no relation to either james, its rather moot (sorry for the confusing run on sentence)
