'The Twelve' in the Bible

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedaeus and John his brother,

Jesus said to them, "I tell you truly, in the new world, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve thrones to govern the twelve tribes of Israel.

Now as Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem he took the twelve aside by themselves and said to them as they were on the road,

The servant who had got the twelve hundred pounds went at once and traded with them, making another twelve hundred.

Then the servant who had got the twelve hundred pounds came forward, bringing twelve hundred more; he said, 'You handed me twelve hundred pounds, sir; here I have gained another twelve hundred.'

Take therefore the two hundred and fifty pounds away from him, give it to the servant who had the twelve hundred.

Then one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot went and said to the high priests,

While he was still speaking, up came Judas, one of the twelve, accompanied by a large mob with swords and cudgels who had come from the high priests and the elders of the people.
