'Twelve' in the Bible
And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast;
And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles:
Soon afterwards, He began going around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God. The twelve were with Him,
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.
And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone,
And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.
Now the day was ending, and the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to eat; for here we are in a desolate place.”
And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve baskets full.
Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.
And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.
that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.
