13The Mission of the Twelve. He went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him.
14He appointed twelve [whom he also named apostles] that they might be with him and he might send them forth to preach
15and to have authority to drive out demons:
16[he appointed the twelve:] Simon, whom he named Peter;
17James, son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder;
