The Twelve Are Chosen

¹³ And He *went up on ^(A)the mountain and *^(B)summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him. ¹⁴ And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach, ¹⁵ and to have authority to cast out the demons. ¹⁶ And He appointed the twelve: ^(C)Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), ^17 [a]James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of ^[b]James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, “Sons of Thunder”); ¹⁸ and Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, ^[c]James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, and Simon the ^[d]Zealot; ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
