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

¹³ And He went up into a mountain and called near those whom He would. And they came to Him. ¹⁴ And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them out to proclaim, ¹⁵ and to have authority to heal sicknesses, and to cast out demons.

¹⁶ And He put on Simon the name Peter. ¹⁷ And He put on James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, the names Boanerges, which is, the Sons of Thunder. ¹⁸ And He appointed 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 went into a house.

¹² And it happened in those days that He went out into a mountain to pray, and He was spending the night in prayer to God. ¹³ And when it was day, He called His disciples. And He chose twelve of 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 Alpheus, and Simon who was called Zelotes; ¹⁶ Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became the betrayer.
