Luke 6:11-16

The Voice

¹¹ This made the Pharisees and religious scholars furious. They began discussing together what they would do to Jesus.

¹² Around this time, Jesus went outside the city to a nearby mountain, along with a large crowd of His disciples. He prayed through the night to God. ¹³ The next morning, He chose 12 of them and gave each a new title of “emissary.”

¹⁴ They included Simon (Jesus called him Peter) and Andrew (Simon’s brother); James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; ¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas; James (son of Alphaeus) and Simon (known as the Zealot); ¹⁶ Judas (son of James) and the other Judas (Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed Jesus).
