Mark 3:13-19

Living Bible

¹³ Afterwards he went up into the hills and summoned certain ones he chose, inviting them to come and join him there; and they did. ^14-15 Then he selected twelve of them to be his regular companions and to go out to preach and to cast out demons. ^16-19 These are the names of the twelve he chose: Simon (he renamed him “Peter”), James and John (the sons of Zebedee, but Jesus called them “Sons of Thunder”), Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James (the son of Alphaeus), Thaddaeus, Simon (a member of a political party advocating violent overthrow of the Roman government), Judas Iscariot (who later betrayed him).
