Mark 3:13-19 - The Selection Of The Twelve Apostles

¹³ And he goes up onto the mountain, and calls in those whom he himself wanted, and they went to him. ¹⁴ And he appointed twelve men, so that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, ¹⁵ and to have authority to heal diseases and to cast out demons.

¹⁶ And he added to Simon the name Peter; ¹⁷ and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he added to them the name Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder; ¹⁸ and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. And they come to a house.

¹² And he happened in these days to go out onto the mountain to pray, and he was continuing all night in prayer to God. ¹³ And when it became day, he called his disciples, and chose twelve from them, whom he also named apostles:

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, ¹⁶ Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.
