Is it important to remember stuff like all the names of Jesus disciples?

[dms1972]

One thing I find it hard to remember (even though tried to commit it to memory) is the names of the 12 disciples. Is it important to remember details like this?

Does anyone else find remembering the names of the disciples difficult?

It must be tough to be part of the 12 but not Peter James and John.

No one remembers you, except for negative examples like Thomas.

I think it is the worst for Matthias, so many Christians even think you were not supposed be part of the 12, that Peter made a mistake by choosing you based on drawing lots, that the ascended Christ actually chose Paul to replace Judas, just because the book of Acts never mentioned your name after Acts 1.

Only for a trivia game. I wouldn’t be too insistent on remembering all the details.
