Who Was at The Last Supper?

Who Was at The Last Supper?

Before the crucifixion, Jesus and his disciples have a feast which we call "The Last Supper" for it is the last supper Jesus had with the disciples before his death. On this momentous occasion, who actually was there? Well, we'll be explaining that today. 

In Matthew 26:20, we read, "Now when the even was come, he(Jesus) sat down with the twelve." The twelve is a reference to the twelve apostles who are Judas Iscariot(Matthew 26:14), Peter who is also called Simon(Matthew 26:33, Mark 3:16), James the son of Zebedee(Mark 3:17), John(Mark 3:17), Andrew(Mark 3:18), Philip(Mark 3:18), Bartholomew(Mark 3:18), Matthew who was also called Levi(Mark 3:18), Thomas(Mark 3:18), James the son of Alphaeus(Mark 3:18), Thaddaeus(Mark 3:18), and Simon the Zeal(Mark 3:18). Other than these thirteen, we have no other people mentioned at the supper.
