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

¹³ And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth to him whom he would; and they came to him. ¹⁴ And he appointed twelve to be with him, and whom he might send forth to preach, ¹⁵ and to have authority to cast out demons. And he appointed the twelve,

¹⁶ and Simon he surnamed Peter; ¹⁷ and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, that 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 of Cana, ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. And he cometh into the house.

¹² And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God. ¹³ And when it was day, he called to him his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom he also named apostles;

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