The Twelve Apostles

Mark 3

13 And He went up on the hillside and called to Him [ 1 for Himself] those whom He wanted and chose, and they came to Him. 14 And He appointed twelve to 2 continue to be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach [as apostles or special messengers] 15 And to have authority and power to heal the sick and to drive out demons: 16 [They were] Simon, and He surnamed [him] Peter; 17 James son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, and He surnamed them Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder; 18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathaniel), and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas, not Iscariot), and Simon the Cananaean [also called Zelotes], 19 And Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed Him.

20 Then He went to a house [probably Peter's], but a throng came together again, so that Jesus and His disciples could not even take food. 21 And when those 3 who belonged to Him ( 4 His kinsmen) heard it, they went out to take Him by force, for they kept saying, He is out of 5 His mind (beside Himself, deranged)!
