The Twelve Apostles

Mark 3

13 y And he went up on the mountain and called to him those z whom he desired, and they came to him. 14 y And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach 15 y and have authority to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: a Simon (to whom b he gave the name Peter); 17 c James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder); 18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and d Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

20 Then he went e home, and the crowd gathered again, f so that they could not even eat. 21 g And when h his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, "He i is out of his mind."
