Aunque las palabras y acciones de los doce apóstoles se encuentran dispersas por todo el Nuevo Testamento, reunir las piezas puede resultar confuso, agotador y, sencillamente, difícil. Los nombres se repiten o cambian con frecuencia. Se mencionan trabajos anteriores y posibles destinos, pero incluso un mapa del mundo antiguo puede ser difícil de reconstruir.
