'The Twelve' in the Bible

When he was by himself his adherents and the twelve asked him about the parable,

And summoning the twelve he proceeded to send them out two by two; he gave them power over the unclean spirits,

So he sat down and called the twelve. "If anyone wants to be first," he said to them, "he must be last of all and the servant of all."

They were on the way up to Jerusalem, Jesus walking in front of them: the disciples were in dismay and the company who followed were afraid. So once again he took the twelve aside and proceeded to tell them what was going to happen to himself.

Then he entered Jerusalem, entered the temple, and looked round at everything; but as it was late he went away with the twelve to Bethany.

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the high priests to betray him to them.

and when evening fell he arrived along with the twelve.

"One of the twelve," he told them, "one who is dipping into the same dish as I am.

At that very moment, while he was still speaking, Judas [Iscariot] one of the twelve came up accompanied by a mob with swords and cudgels who had come from the high priests and scribes and elders.
