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

¹³ At length he went up a mountain, and having appointed a select company to attend him, they came to him. ¹⁴ then he chose twelve of them to be near his person, and afterwards to be gospel-missionaries. ¹⁵ with full power to heal diseases, and dispossess demons.

¹⁶ these were Simon, whom he sirnam'd Peter, James the son of Zebedee, ¹⁷ and John the brother of James, (whom he had named Boanerges, that is to say, sons of thunder.) ¹⁸ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, Thaddeus, Simon the Canaanite, ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

¹² About that time, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in an oratory. ¹³ when it was day, he called his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom he stiled missionarys: Simon,

¹⁴ (to whom he gave the name of Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon surnamed the Zelot, ¹⁶ Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who prov'd the traitor.
