Commentaries on Matthew 10:3
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Bartholomew - Many are of opinion that this was Nathanael, mentioned John 1:46, whose name was probably Nathanael bar Talmai, Nathanael, the son of Talmai: here, his own name is repressed, and he is called Bar Talmai, or Bartholomew, from his father.
