Apostle Bartholomew
Bartholomew appears in the apostolic lists. The New Testament does not narrate a separate episode under this name.
Perspective note
Comparative historical/source study. The original author's or church's reception is retained; inclusion does not make every claim Oriental Orthodox teaching.
Tradition note
The identification of Bartholomew with Nathanael is traditional and plausible but is not stated explicitly by the New Testament.
