Should this redirect to Apostle Bartholomew, with clarifications on that page? Several sources support that they are the same: [1] and [2]. This even writes, "Sts John Chrysostom, Cyril of Alexandria, Epiphanius of Cyprus and certain other teachers of the Church regard the Apostle Bartholomew as being the same person as Nathanael (John 1:45-51, 21:2)." —magda (talk) 15:59, March 20, 2008 (PDT)
