The Twelve Apostles

(Matthew 10:1–4, Mark 3:13–19)

12 In those days [Jesus] went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God. 13 When daylight came, He called His disciples {to Him} and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles: 14 Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; 15 Matthew and Thomas; James [son of] Alphaeus and Simon called [the] Zealot; 16 Judas [son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became [a] traitor.
