1 Corinthians 15.3-8:

Παρεδωκα γαρ υμιν εν πρωτοις ο και παρελαβον,

οτι Χριστος απεθανεν υπερ των αμαρτιων ημων κατα τας γραφας,

και οτι εταφη,

και οτι εγηγερται τη ημερα τη τριτη κατα τας γραφας,

Cephas.
The twelve.
The 500.

και οτι ωφθη Κηφα,

ειτα τοις δωδεκα·

επειτα ωφθη επανω πεντακοσιοις αδελφοις εφαπαξ, εξ ων οι πλειονες μενουσιν εως αρτι, τινες δε εκοιμηθησαν·

James.
The apostles.
Paul.

επειτα ωφθη Ιακωβω,

ειτα τοις αποστολοις πασιν·

εσχατον δε παντων ωσπερει τω εκτρωματι ωφθη καμοι.

For I delivered to you among the very foremost things what I also received, that Christ died for the sake of our sins, according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve; afterward he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; afterward he was seen by James, then by all the apostles; but last of all he was seen by me, as by one untimely born.

The synoptic disciple lists.

Matthew 10.2-4:

Των δε δωδεκα αποστολων τα ονοματα εστιν ταυτα· Πρωτος Σιμων ο λεγομενος Πετρος και Ανδρεας ο αδελφος αυτου, και Ιακωβος ο του Ζεβεδαιου και Ιωαννης ο αδελφος αυτου, Φιλιππος και Βαρθολομαιος, Θωμας και Μαθθαιος ο τελωνης, Ιακωβος ο του Αλφαιου και Θαδδαιος, Σιμων ο Καναναιος και Ιουδας ο Ισκαριωτης ο και παραδους αυτον.

But the names of the twelve apostles are these: First Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James of Zebedee and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax-collector, James of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananaean and Judas Iscariot, the one who also betrayed him.

Mark 3.16-19:

Και εποιησεν τους δωδεκα, και επεθηκεν ονομα τω Σιμωνι Πετρον, και Ιακωβον τον του Ζεβεδαιου και Ιωαννην τον αδελφον του Ιακωβου, και επεθηκεν αυτοις ονομα Βοανηργες, ο εστιν υιοι βροντης, και Ανδρεαν, και Φιλιππον, και Βαρθολομαιον, και Μαθθαιον, και Θωμαν, και Ιακωβον τον του Αλφαιου, και Θαδδαιον, και Σιμωνα τον Καναναιον, και Ιουδαν Ισκαριωθ, ος και παρεδωκεν αυτον.

And he made the twelve, and he lent the name Peter to Simon, and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he lent them the names Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder, and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Luke 6.13-16:

Και οτε εγενετο ημερα προσεφωνησεν τους μαθητας αυτου, και εκλεξαμενος απ αυτων δωδεκα, ους και αποστολους ωνομασεν, Σιμωνα, ον και ωνομασεν Πετρον, και Ανδρεαν τον αδελφον αυτου, και Ιακωβον, και Ιωαννην, και Φιλιππον, και Βαρθολομαιον, και Μαθθαιον, και Θωμαν, και Ιακωβον Αλφαιου, και Σιμωνα τον καλουμενον Ζηλωτην, και Ιουδαν Ιακωβου, και Ιουδαν Ισκαριωθ, ος εγενετο προδοτης.

And, when it became day, he summoned to himself his disciples, and selected from among them twelve, whom he also named apostles, Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alphaeus, and Simon, the one called the zealot, and Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Acts 1.13:

Και οτε εισηλθον, εις το υπερωον ανεβησαν ου ησαν καταμενοντες, ο τε Πετρος και Ιωαννης και Ιακωβος και Ανδρεας, Φιλιππος και Θωμας, Βαρθολομαιος και Μαθθαιος, Ιακωβος Αλφαιου και Σιμων ο ζηλωτης και Ιουδας Ιακωβου.

And, when they went in, they ascended to the upper room where they were remaining, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the zealot and Judas of James.

The Hegesippan list of heresies.

Eusebius, History of the Church 4.22.4-7:

Και μετα το μαρτυρησαι Ιακωβον τον δικαιον ως και ο κυριος επι τω αυτω λογω, παλιν ο εκ θειου αυτου Συμεων ο του Κλωπα καθισταται επισκοπος, ον προεθεντο παντες οντα ανεψιον του κυριου δευτερον. δια τουτο εκαλουν την εκκλησιαν παρθενον ουπω γαρ εφθαρτο ακοαις ματαιαις.

The same author also describes the beginnings of the heresies which arose in his time in the following words: And after James the just had suffered martyrdom, as the Lord had also on the same account, Symeon, the son of the uncle of the Lord, Clopas, was appointed the next bishop. All proposed him as second bishop because he was a cousin of the Lord. Therefore they called the church a virgin, for it was not yet corrupted by vain discourses.

Thebuthis.
Simon and the Simonians.
Cleobius and the Cleobians.
Dositheus and the Dositheans.
Gorthaeus and the Goratheni.
Masbotheus and the Masbothaeans.
Menandrianists (Menander).
Marcionists (Marcion).
Carpocratians (Carpocrates).
Valentinians (Valentinus).
Basilidians (Basilides).
Saturnilians (Saturnilus or Saturninus).

Αρχεται δ ο Θεβουθις δια το μη γενεσθαι αυτον επισκοπον υποφθειρειν. απο των επτα αιρεσεων και αυτος ην εν τω λαω, αφ ων Σιμων, οθεν οι Σιμωνιανοι, και Κλεοβιος, οθεν Κλεοβιηνοι, και Δοσιθεος, οθεν Δοσιθιανοι, και Γορθαιος, οθεν Γορθηωνοι, και Μασβωθεος, οθεν Μασβωθαιοι. απο τουτων Μενανδριανισται, και Μαρκιωνισται, και Καρποκρατιανοι, και Ουαλεντινιανοι, και Βασιλειδιανοι, και Σατορνιλιανοι, εκαστος ιδιως και ετερως ιδιαν δοξαν παρεισηγαγησαν.

But Thebuthis, because he was not made bishop, began to corrupt it. He also was sprung from the seven sects among the people, like Simon, from whom came the Simonians, and Cleobius, from whom came the Cleobians, and Dositheus, from whom came the Dositheans, and Gorthaeus, from whom came the Goratheni, and Masbotheus, from whom came the Masbothaeans. From them sprang the Menandrianists, and Marcionists, and Carpocratians, and Valentinians, and Basilidians, and Saturnilians. Each introduced privately and separately his own peculiar opinion.

Απο τουτων ψευδοχριστοι, ψευδοπροφηται, ψευδαποστολοι οι τινες εμερισαν την ενωσιν της εκκλησιας φθοριμαιοις λογοις κατα του Θεου και κατα του Χριστου αυτου.

From them came false Christs, false prophets, false apostles, who divided the unity of the church by corrupt doctrines uttered against God and against his Christ.

Essenes.
Galileans.
Hemerobaptists.
Masbothaeans.
Samaritans.
Sadducees.
Pharisees.

Ετι δ ο αυτος και τας παλαι γεγενημενας παρα Ιουδαιοις αιρεσεις ιστορει λεγων· Ησαν δε γνωμαι διαφοροι εν τη τη περιτομη εν υιοις Ισραηλ, των κατα της φυλης Ιουδα και του Χριστου, αυται· Εσσαιοι, Γαλιλαιοι, Ημεροβαπτισται, Μασβωθαιοι, Σαμαρειται, Σαδδουκαιοι, Φαρισαιοι.

The same writer also records the ancient heresies which arose among the Jews, in the following words: There were, moreover, various opinions in the circumcision, among the children of Israel. The following were those that were opposed to the tribe of Judah and the Christ: Essenes, Galileans, Hemerobaptists, Masbothaeans, Samaritans, Sadducees, Pharisees.
