Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas,(which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people;(and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
