Jesus Appoints the Twelve

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 [a](whom He also named apostles) to be with Him and to 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 and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, “Sons of Thunder”); 18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the [b]Zealot; 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
