Mark 3:13-19 - The Selection Of The Twelve Apostles

¹³ Then Jesus went up on a hillside and called to himself those whom he had decided on, and they approached him. ¹⁴ He appointed the Twelve, whom he called apostles, to accompany him, to be sent out to preach, ¹⁵ and to have the authority to drive out demons.

¹⁶ He appointed the Twelve: Simon (whom he named Peter), ¹⁷ Zebedee's sons James and his brother John (whom he named Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder), ¹⁸ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon the Cananaean, ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

¹² Now it was in those days that Jesus went to a mountain to pray, and he spent the whole night in prayer to God. ¹³ When daylight came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also called apostles:

¹⁴ Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew, Thomas, James (the son of Alphaeus), Simon (who was called the Zealot), ¹⁶ Judas (the son of James), and Judas Iscariot (who became a traitor).
