I’ve already written about Nephi and we don’t know many details about the other eleven disciples but they all went through the great upheavals that preceded the visit of the Savior.
We know their names: Timothy, Jonas (the son of Nephi or possibly of Timothy – the grammar leaves room for uncertainty), Mathoni, Mathonihah, Kumen, Kumenonhi, Jeremiah, Shemnon, another Jonas, Zedekiah, and Isaiah.
We also know that Timothy had been stoned to death before the death of Christ because of his preaching and that Nephi raised him from the dead and while we don’t know details about the others they must all have been men of that same caliber. The evidence is that they were called by Jesus and that they served faithfully for the remainder of their lives.
