Summary: Jesus ascended a mountain and called those He chose, forming a group of twelve, designated as Apostles. Their purpose was to stay with Him, preach, and have authority over demons. The appointed Twelve included Simon (Peter), James and John (Boanerges), Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who later betrayed Him.
