'Twelve' in the Bible

And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,

When it was day, He called His disciples; and He selected from among them twelve, whom He also named Apostles.

Shortly after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on Him.

And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her--

Then calling the Twelve together He conferred on them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases;

Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, "Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district."

So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.

Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

so that you shall eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones as judges over the twelve tribes of Israel.

While He was still speaking there came a crowd with Judas, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, at their head. He went up to Jesus to kiss Him.
