'Twelve' in the Bible
When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast,
When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve,
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any,
He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place."
They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.
When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.
that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
