Luke 6:12-16

New Century Version

Jesus Chooses His Apostles

¹² At that time Jesus went off to a mountain to pray, and he spent the night praying to God. ¹³ The next morning, Jesus called his followers to him and chose twelve of them, whom he named apostles: ¹⁴ Simon (Jesus named him Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon (called the Zealot), ¹⁶ Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who later turned Jesus over to his enemies.
