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

¹³ And Jesus made his way up the hill, and called those whom he wished; and they went to him. ¹⁴ And he appointed twelve--whom he also named 'Apostles'--that they might be with him, and that he might send them out as his Messengers, to preach, ¹⁵ And with power to drive out demons.

¹⁶ So he appointed the Twelve--Peter (which was the name that Jesus gave to Simon), ¹⁷ James, the son of Zebediah, and his brother John (to whom he gave the name of Boanerges, which means the Thunderers), ¹⁸ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, ¹⁹ And Judas Iscariot, the man that betrayed him.

¹² Now about that time, Jesus went out, up the hill, to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God. ¹³ When day came, he summoned his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named 'Apostles.'

¹⁴ They were Simon (whom Jesus also named Peter), and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon known as the Zealot, ¹⁶ Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.
