  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Thomas 
  twin,  one  of  the  twelve  (Matt.  10:3;  Mark  3:18,  etc.).  He  was 
  also  called  Didymus  (John  11:16;  20:24),  which  is  the  Greek 
  equivalent  of  the  Hebrew  name  All  we  know  regarding  him  is 
  recorded  in  the  fourth  Gospel  (John  11:15,  16;  14:4,  5;  20:24, 
  25,  26-29).  From  the  circumstance  that  in  the  lists  of  the 
  apostles  he  is  always  mentioned  along  with  Matthew,  who  was  the 
  son  of  Alphaeus  (Mark  3:18),  and  that  these  two  are  always 
  followed  by  James,  who  was  also  the  son  of  Alphaeus,  it  has  been 
  supposed  that  these  three  Matthew,  Thomas,  and  James,  were 
  brothers.
