He went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him. He appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) that they might be with him and he might send them forth to preach and to have authority to drive out demons: (1) Simon, whom he named Peter; (2) James, son of Zebedee, and (3) John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder; (4) Andrew, (5) Philip, (6) Bartholomew, (7) Matthew, (8) Thomas, (9) James the son of Alphaeus; (10) Thaddeus, (11) Simon the Cananean, and (12) Judas Iscariot who [later] betrayed him.
