Mk 3:13-19: "And he goeth up into
a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they
came unto him. And he ordained twelve, that they should be
with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, And
to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
And Simon he surnamed Peter; And James the son of Zebedee,
and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them
Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: And Andrew, and
Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James
the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went
into an house".
Mt 10:1-12: "And when he had
called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power
against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all
manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Now the names
of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is
called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew;
Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus,
and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the
Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. These
twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not
into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the
Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have
received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor
brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey, neither
two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is
worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye
shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide
till ye go hence. And when ye come into an house, salute
it".
Lk 6:12-16: "And it came to pass
in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and
continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day,
he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose
twelve, whom also he named apostles; Simon, (whom he also
named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip
and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of
Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, And Judas the brother of
James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor".
