Jesus Chooses the Twelve Apostles

Luke 6:12-16

In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named emissaries:

Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; Jacob; Yochanan; Philip; Bartholomew;

Matthew; Thomas; Jacob, the son of Halfai; Simon, who was called the Zealot;

Judah the son of Jacob; and Judah Iscariot, who also became a traitor.
