1And 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. 2Now the namesof 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; 3Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 5These 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: 6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Excerpted from the King James Bible An apostle…one who is sent forth. Early in his ministry, Jesus spent the night on a mountain, alone in prayer. When daylight came, he gathered his disciples around him. From them, he chose twelve apostles to send forth, deliveringthe gospel of the Lord. These twelve men were: Simon, whom Jesus named Peter; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon; Thaddeus; John; Andrew; Judas Iscariot; James, son of Zebedee; and Philip.
