We see Jesus selecting some of his disciples in Jn 1: 43-51 (NRSVCE):

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.... Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.” ....When Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”

But, we do not find the name of Nathaniel in the list of Apostles. Is it possible that he was given a new name and appointed as an Apostle, or did he continue to be one of the 72 disciples by the same name?
