'The Twelve' in the Bible

And He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter),

As soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables.

And He *summoned the twelve and began to send them out in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

Sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”

They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,

Jesus entered Jerusalem and came into the temple; and after looking around at everything, He left for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late.

Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them.

When it was evening He *came with the twelve.

And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.

Immediately while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, *came up accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, who were from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
