    Some of them may have been known by more than one name. Like Simon who they called “Rock” (Peter).

      Yes. Those are one person.

      There are 14 individual persons (some having different names, like Simon peter, Saul Paul) named by name (and an assumed number greater than that since the letters of the gospels specifically also mention 'and the rest of the apostles")
