8. St. Paul was one of the original Twelve Apostles.

Answer: False

St. Paul was not one of the Twelve, but he was important in spreading the Faith.
9. This Apostle was also known as Thaddeus.

Answer: St. Jude

Traditionally, the two names Jude and Thaddeus have been held to refer to the same apostle, possibly referred to by Mark and Matthew using the nickname Thaddeus to avoid association with Judas Iscariot.

Biblical scholars are divided as to whether this Jude is Jude the brother of James or Jude the son of James (Luke 6:16). Those who translate that passage as brother of James usually identify Jude the Apostle, therefore, as Jude the brother of Jesus. This debate also means that there is disagreement about who wrote the Book of Jude.
10. Native of Bethsaida, where Peter and Andrew were from, this Apostle is mentioned three times in the gospels, particularly during the multiplication of loaves and fishes, expressing to Christ that there is not enough bread to be bought to feed the multitude of the crowd.
