'The Twelve' in the Bible

After this, Jesus traveled from one city and village to another, preaching and spreading the good news about God's kingdom. The Twelve were with him,

Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.

As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away to the neighboring villages and farms so they can rest and get some food, because we are here in a deserted place."

Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, "Pay attention! We're going up to Jerusalem. Everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled,

But Satan went into Judas called Iscariot, who belonged to the circle of the Twelve.

so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit down on thrones to govern the twelve tribes of Israel."

While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd arrived. The man called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them, and he came close to Jesus to kiss him.
