The Choosing of the Twelve Apostles^(A)

¹³ He went up into the mountain and called to Him those whom He desired, and they came to Him. ¹⁴ He ordained twelve to be with Him, and to be sent out to preach, ¹⁵ and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: ¹⁶ Simon, whom He named Peter; ¹⁷ James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, whom he surnamed Boanerges (meaning Sons of Thunder); ¹⁸ Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas; and James the son of Alphaeus; and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot; ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
