Jesus Chooses the Twelve Apostles (MRK 3:13-19)

[3:13] Then Jesus went up a hill and called to himself the men he wanted. They came to him,

[3:14] and he chose twelve, whom he named apostles. “I have chosen you to be with me,” he told them. “I will also send you out to preach,

[3:15] and you will have authority to drive out demons.”

[3:16] These are the twelve he chose: Simon (Jesus gave him the name Peter);

[3:17] James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee (Jesus gave them the name Boanerges, which means “Men of Thunder”);

[3:18] Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Patriot,

[3:19] and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
