Quick answer
The list closes with Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, the betrayer. Even among the chosen, one would fall away.
Overview
Simon the Canaanite, or Zealot, and Judas Iscariot complete the twelve, with Judas marked as the one who would betray Jesus. That a traitor stood among the apostles is a sober reminder that outward association with Christ is not saving faith. Judas's presence also shows that even human treachery served God's redemptive plan at the cross.
