The choosing of the twelve
See them side by side
Luke 6:12-16
12Now it happened in these days that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he spent the whole night in prayer to God. 13And when day came, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom he also named apostles: 14Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John and Philip and Bartholomew, 15and Matthew and Thomas and James son of Alphaeus and Simon who was called the Zealot, 16and Judas son of James and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
1And calling to himself his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to drive them out and to heal every disease and every sickness. 2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee and John his brother; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Cananaean and Judas Iscariot, who also handed him over.
13And he goes up onto the mountain and summons those whom he himself wanted, and they came to him. 14And he appointed twelve, so that they might be with him and so that he might send them out to proclaim 15and to have authority to drive out the demons. 16And he appointed the Twelve: and he gave Simon the name Peter; 17and James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (and he gave them the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder); 18and Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew and Thomas and James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus and Simon the Cananaean 19and Judas Iscariot, who also handed him over.
