13 As Yeshua started climbing up a hill, he called the followers that he had selected, and they went off with him. 14 He appointed twelve of them as his representatives so that they could stick with him and be sent off to be proclaiming his message 15 and to also have authority to exorcise demons.

16 These are the twelve that he appointed: Simon (but he appended the name “Peter”), 17 Yacob and his brother Yohan who were Zebedee’s sons (and he nicknamed them the “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, Yacob Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon from Canaan, 19 and Yudas Iscariot who later betrayed him.
