3 Bible Verses about Twins

After three months we set sail on a ship that had spent the winter on the island [of Melita]. This ship had originated from Alexandria and was designated as "Twin Brothers" [Note: The ship may have been named this because of its prow containing the figures of the mythical twin gods of sailors, Castor and Pollux].

Simon Peter; Thomas, called "The Twin;" Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee; the sons of Zebedee [i.e., James and John] and two other disciples of Jesus were [all] together [at the lake].

And that is not all, but Rebecca also conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac. (OMITTED TEXT) For even before the twins were born, and therefore had not done anything good or bad, Rebecca was told [Gen. 25:23], "The older one [i.e., Esau] will serve the younger one [i.e., Jacob]." This was so that God's purpose of choosing and calling [whomever He wanted to] might prevail, instead of [it depending on] what a person did.read more.
Just as it is written [Mal. 1:2-3], "I [i.e., God] loved Jacob, but hated Esau." What shall we say then? Is God guilty of wrongdoing? Certainly not! For He said to Moses [Ex. 33:19], "I will show pity to whomever I want, and I will show mercy to whomever I want." So then, it does not depend on what a person wants or does, but on God, who shows pity [i.e., to whomever He wants].
