Peter and John are the only two of the apostles from Jesus’ lifetime who we know much about. With Matthew we knew something worth addressing individually but not so with the others besides Judas. Of the remaining apostles we can only day collectively that they were good priesthood men based on the fact that Jesus choose them and they didn’t abandon him at the times when other followers went away. We see Thomas stand out when he expresses doubt at the greatest miracle of all time but otherwise he is one of the pack. Even Judas, who betrayed Christ, must have been a good priesthood man before his fall. Sometimes righteous manhood goes unnoticed unless it cracks.
