Occupation for Diciples

[KimberlyDang]

What was the occupation for Bartholomew, Thomas, James, Taddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot? (All diciples of the Lord.)

The only one I can find where it mentions his occupation is James who was a fisherman, but I seem to recall in my dim and distant past that Thomas was a Tax Gatherer, but not  certain about that. Sorry I can't help more.

Was Simon the Zealot not called so because he was a 'Zealot' i.e. a group of radical Jewish political activists who wanted to get rid of Roman oppression. In short therefore Simon had been a political campaigner before meeting Jesus the Messiah.
