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

¹³ And he went up the hillside and summoned to him those whom he wanted, and they went to him. ¹⁴ He appointed twelve of them, whom he called apostles, to be with him and to be sent out to preach, ¹⁵ with power to drive out the demons. These were the twelve he appointed:

¹⁶ Peter, which was the name he gave to Simon, ¹⁷ James the son of Zebedee, and John, James's brother (he named them Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder), ¹⁸ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot, ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Then he went home.

¹² It was in those days that he went up on the mountain to pray, and passed the whole night in prayer to God. ¹³ When day came, he called his disciples to him, and chose twelve of them whom he named apostles:

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