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

¹³ And he went up into a mountain, and called to him those whom he chose; and they came to him. ¹⁴ And he appointed twelve to be with him, and to send them out to preach: ¹⁵ and to have authority to cure diseases, and to cast out devils:

¹⁶ and Simon he surnamed Peter; ¹⁷ and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and surnamed them Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder: ¹⁸ and Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite, ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him: and they came into an house.

¹² Now it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray and continued all night in an oratory of God. ¹³ And when it was day, he called his disciples to him; and elected from them twelve, whom he named Apostles:

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James son of Alpheus, and Simon called the Zealous, ¹⁶ Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.
