Apostles Chosen

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.

He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,

and to have authority to drive out demons.

These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),

James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),

Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,

In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
