Jesus Chooses the Twelve Apostles

Luke 6:12-16

It was around that time that Yeshua went out to the hill country to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.

When day came, he called his talmidim and chose from among them twelve to be known as emissaries:

Shim`on, whom he named Kefa; Andrew, his brother; Ya`akov; Yochanan; Philip; Bar-Talmai;

Mattityahu; T'oma; Ya`akov Ben-Halfai;

Shim`on, the one called the Zealot; Y'hudah Ben-Ya`akov; and Y'hudah from K'riot, who turned traitor.
