Election of the Twelve
3 13Then Jesus went up into the hill country and called those he wanted and they came to him. 14So he appointed twelve to be with him; and he called them apostles. He wanted to send them out to preach, 15and he gave them authority to drive out demons.
16These are the Twelve: Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter; 17James, son of Zebedee, and John his brother, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, which means ‘men of thunder;’ 18Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alpheus, Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean 19and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
