the son of Zebedee and John his brother;
3
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the publican; James
the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4
Simon the Canaanite and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded them, saying, Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into
any city of the Samaritans,
6
but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
