Luke 6:15 In-Context

13 The next morning, Jesus called his followers to him and chose twelve of them, whom he named apostles:

14 Simon (Jesus named him Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

15 Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon (called the Zealot),

16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who later turned Jesus over to his enemies.

17 Jesus and the apostles came down from the mountain, and he stood on level ground. A large group of his followers was there, as well as many people from all around Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast cities of Tyre and Sidon.
