Now the names of the twelve apostles are these--The other Evangelists enumerate the twelve in immediate connection with their appointment (Mar 3:13-19; Luk 6:13-16). But our Evangelist, not intending to record the appointment, but only the Mission of the Twelve, gives their names here. And as in the Acts (Act 1:13) we have a list of the Eleven who met daily in the upper room with the other disciples after their Master's ascension until the day of Pentecost, we have four catalogues in all for comparison.
The first, Simon, who is called Peter--(See on Joh 1:42).
and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother--named after James, as the younger of the two. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Now the names of the twelve apostles - The account of their being called is more fully given in Mar 3:13-18, and Luk 6:12-19. Each of those evangelists has recorded the circumstances of their appointment. They agree in saying it was done on a mountain; and, according to Luke, it was done before the sermon on the mount was delivered, perhaps on the same mountain, near Capernaum. Luke adds that the night previous had been spent "in prayer" to God. See the notes at Luk 6:12.
Simon, who is called Peter - The word "Peter" means a rock. He was also called Cephas, Joh 1:42; Co1 1:12; Co1 3:22; Co1 15:5; Gal 2:9. This was a Syro-Chaldaic word signifying the same as Peter. This name was given probably in reference to the "resoluteness and firmness" which he was to exhibit in preaching the gospel. Before the Saviour's death he was rash, impetuous, and unstable. Afterward, as all history affirms, he was firm, zealous, steadfast, and immovable. The tradition is that he was at last crucified at Rome with his head downward, thinking it too great an honor to die as his Master did. See the notes at Joh 21:18. There is no certain proof, however, that this occurred at Rome, and no absolute knowledge as to the place where he died.
James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother - This James was killed by Herod in a persecution, Act 12:2. The other James, the son of Alpheus, was stationed at Jerusalem, and was the author of the epistle that bears his name. See Gal 1:19; Gal 2:9; Act 15:13. A James is mentioned Gal 1:19 as "the Lord's brother." It has not been easy to ascertain why he was thus called. He is here called the son of "Alpheus," that is, of Cleophas, Joh 19:25. Alpheus and Cleophas were but different ways of writing and pronouncing the same name. This Mary, called the mother of James and Joses, is called the wife of Cleophas, Joh 19:25. |

apostles
The word "apostle", meaning "one sent forth," is used of our Lord (Heb 3:1). Elsewhere it is used for the twelve who were called to that office by our Lord during His earth ministry; of Paul, called to the apostleship by the risen and ascended Lord, and of Barnabas (Act 14:14) specially designated by the Holy Spirit (Act 13:2). Of Matthias, chosen by lot by the eleven to take the place of Judas Iscariot, (Act 1:16-26) it is said: "And he was numbered with the eleven." (Act 1:26).
The "signs" of an apostle were
(1) They were chosen directly by the Lord Himself, or, as in the case of Barnabas, by the Holy Spirit (Mat 10:1-2); (Mar 3:13-14); (Luk 6:13); (Act 9:6); (Act 9:15); (Act 13:2); (Act 22:10); (Act 22:14); (Act 22:15); (Rom 1:1).
(2) They were endued with sign gifts, miraculous powers which were the divine credentials of their office (Mat 10:1); (Act 5:15-16); (Act 16:16-18); (Mat 28:8-9).
(3) Their relation to the kingdom was that of heralds, announcing to Israel only (Mat 10:5-6) the kingdom as at hand.
(See Scofield) - (Mat 4:17)
and manifesting kingdom powers (Mat 10:7-8).
(4) To one of them, Peter, the keys of the kingdom of heaven, viewed as the sphere of Christian profession, as in Mat 13, were given (Mat 16:19).
(5) Their future relation to the king will be that of judges over the twelve tribes (Mat 19:28).
(6) Consequent upon the rejection of the kingdom, and the revelation of the mystery hid in God (Mat 16:18); (Eph 3:1-12) the Church, the apostolic office was invested with a new enduement, the baptism with the Holy Spirit (Act 2:1-4) a new power, that of imparting the Spirit to Jewish-Christian believers; a new relation, that of foundation stones of the new temple (Eph 2:20-22) and a new function, that of preaching the glad tidings of salvation through a crucified and risen Lord to Jew and gentile alike.
(7) The indispensable qualification of an apostle was that he should have been an eye-witness of the resurrection (Act 1:22); (Co1 9:1).
James son of Zebedee

Apostles (ἀποστόλων)
Compare disciples, Mat 10:1. Apostles is the official term, used here for the first time. They were merely learners (disciples, μαθηταὶ) until Christ gave them authority. From ἀποστέλλω, to send away. An apostle is one sent forth. Compare Joh 13:16 and Rev., one that is sent. Cremer ("Biblico-Theological Lexicon") suggests that it was the rare occurrence of the word in profane Greek that made it all the more appropriate as the distinctive appellation of the twelve. Compare Luk 6:13; Act 1:2. Also, Joh 17:18, I have sent. The word is once used of Christ (Heb 3:1), and in a very general sense to denote an:), one sent (Co2 8:23; Phi 2:25). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The first, Simon - The first who was called to a constant attendance on Christ; although Andrew had seen him before Simon. Act 1:13. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Apostles - This is the first place where the word is used. ΑποϚολος, an apostle, comes from αποϚελλω, I send a message. The word was anciently used to signify a person commissioned by a king to negotiate any affair between him and any other power or people. Hence αποϚολοι and κηρυκες, apostles and heralds, are of the same import in Herodotus. See the remarks at the end of chap. 3.
It is worthy of notice, that those who were Christ's apostles were first his disciples; to intimate, that men must be first taught of God, before they be sent of God. Jesus Christ never made an apostle of any man who was not first his scholar or disciple. These twelve apostles were chosen.
1. That they might be with our Lord, to see and witness his miracles, and hear his doctrine.
2. That they might bear testimony of the former, and preach his truth to mankind.
The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; etc. - We are not to suppose that the word πρωτος, first, refers to any kind of dignity, as some have imagined; it merely signifies the first in order - the person first mentioned. A pious man remarks: "God here unites by grace those who were before united by nature." Though nature cannot be deemed a step towards grace, yet it is not to be considered as always a hinderance to it. Happy the brothers who are joint envoys of Heaven, and the parents who have two or more children employed as ambassadors for God! But this is a very rare case; and family compacts in the work of the ministry are dangerous and should be avoided. |
42 And [2532] he brought [71] him [846] to [4314] Jesus [2424]. And [1161] when Jesus [2424] beheld [1689] him [846], he said [2036], Thou [4771] art [1488] Simon [4613] the son [5207] of Jona [2495]: thou [4771] shalt be called [2564] Cephas [2786], which [3739] is by interpretation [2059], A stone [4074].
13 And [2532] when [3753] they were come in [1525], they went up [305] into [1519] an upper room [5253], where [3757] abode [2258] [2650] both [5037] Peter [4074], and [2532] James [2385], and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] Andrew [406], Philip [5376], and [2532] Thomas [2381], Bartholomew [918], and [2532] Matthew [3156], James [2385] the son of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Simon [4613] Zelotes [2208], and [2532] Judas [2455] the brother of James [2385].
13 And [2532] when [3753] it was [1096] day [2250], he called [4377] unto him his [846] disciples [3101]: and [2532] of [575] them [846] he chose [1586] twelve [1427], whom [3739] also [2532] he named [3687] apostles [652];
14 Simon [4613], (whom [3739] he also [2532] named [3687] Peter [4074],) and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80], James [2385] and [2532] John [2491], Philip [5376] and [2532] Bartholomew [918],
15 Matthew [3156] and [2532] Thomas [2381], James [2385] the [3588] son of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Simon [4613] called [2564] Zelotes [2208],
16 And Judas [2455] the brother of James [2385], and [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], which [3739] also [2532] was [1096] the traitor [4273].
13 And [2532] he goeth up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735], and [2532] calleth [4341] unto him whom [3739] he [846] would [2309]: and [2532] they came [565] unto [4314] him [846].
14 And [2532] he ordained [4160] twelve [1427], that [2443] they should be [5600] with [3326] him [846], and [2532] that [2443] he might send [649] them [846] forth [649] to preach [2784],
15 And [2532] to have [2192] power [1849] to heal [2323] sicknesses [3554], and [2532] to cast out [1544] devils [1140]:
16 And [2532] Simon [4613] he surnamed [2007] [3686] Peter [4074];
17 And [2532] James [2385] the son [3588] of Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] the brother [80] of James [2385]; and [2532] he surnamed [2007] [3686] them [846] Boanerges [993], which is [3603], The sons [5207] of thunder [1027]:
18 And [2532] Andrew [406], and [2532] Philip [5376], and [2532] Bartholomew [918], and [2532] Matthew [3156], and [2532] Thomas [2381], and [2532] James [2385] the son [3588] of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Thaddaeus [2280], and [2532] Simon [4613] the Canaanite [2581],
19 And [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], which [3739] also [2532] betrayed [3860] him [846]: and [2532] they went [2064] into [1519] an house [3624].
25 Now [1161] there stood [2476] by [3844] the cross [4716] of Jesus [2424] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] his [846] mother's [3384] sister [79], Mary [3137] the wife [3588] of Cleophas [2832], and [2532] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094].
25 Now [1161] there stood [2476] by [3844] the cross [4716] of Jesus [2424] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] his [846] mother's [3384] sister [79], Mary [3137] the wife [3588] of Cleophas [2832], and [2532] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094].
19 But [1161] other [2087] of the apostles [652] saw I [1492] none [3756], save [1508] James [2385] the Lord's [2962] brother [80].
13 And [1161] after [3326] they had held [4601] their [846] peace [4601], James [2385] answered [611], saying [3004], Men [435] and brethren [80], hearken [191] unto me [3450]:
9 And [2532] when James [2385], [2532] Cephas [2786], and [2532] John [2491], who [3588] seemed [1380] to be [1511] pillars [4769], perceived [1097] the grace [5485] that was given [1325] unto me [3427], they gave [1325] to me [1698] and [2532] Barnabas [921] the right hands [1188] of fellowship [2842]; that [2443] we [2249] should go unto [1519] the heathen [1484], and [1161] they [846] unto [1519] the circumcision [4061].
19 But [1161] other [2087] of the apostles [652] saw I [1492] none [3756], save [1508] James [2385] the Lord's [2962] brother [80].
2 And [1161] he killed [337] James [2385] the brother [80] of John [2491] with the sword [3162].
18 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], When [3753] thou wast [2258] young [3501], thou girdedst [2224] thyself [4572], and [2532] walkedst [4043] whither [3699] thou wouldest [2309]: but [1161] when [3752] thou shalt be old [1095], thou shalt stretch forth [1614] thy [4675] hands [5495], and [2532] another [243] shall gird [2224] thee [4571], and [2532] carry [5342] thee whither [3699] thou wouldest [2309] not [3756].
9 And [2532] when James [2385], [2532] Cephas [2786], and [2532] John [2491], who [3588] seemed [1380] to be [1511] pillars [4769], perceived [1097] the grace [5485] that was given [1325] unto me [3427], they gave [1325] to me [1698] and [2532] Barnabas [921] the right hands [1188] of fellowship [2842]; that [2443] we [2249] should go unto [1519] the heathen [1484], and [1161] they [846] unto [1519] the circumcision [4061].
5 And [2532] that [3754] he was seen [3700] of Cephas [2786], then [1534] of the twelve [1427]:
22 Whether [1535] Paul [3972], or [1535] Apollos [625], or [1535] Cephas [2786], or [1535] the world [2889], or [1535] life [2222], or [1535] death [2288], or [1535] things present [1764], or [1535] things to come [3195]; all [3956] are [2076] yours [5216];
12 Now [1161] this [5124] I say [3004], that [3754] every one [1538] of you [5216] saith [3004], I [1473] [3303] am [1510] of Paul [3972]; and [1161] I [1473] of Apollos [625]; and [1161] I [1473] of Cephas [2786]; and [1161] I [1473] of Christ [5547].
42 And [2532] he brought [71] him [846] to [4314] Jesus [2424]. And [1161] when Jesus [2424] beheld [1689] him [846], he said [2036], Thou [4771] art [1488] Simon [4613] the son [5207] of Jona [2495]: thou [4771] shalt be called [2564] Cephas [2786], which [3739] is by interpretation [2059], A stone [4074].
12 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [5025] days [2250], that he went out [1831] into [1519] a mountain [3735] to pray [4336], and [2532] continued all night [1273] [2258] in [1722] prayer [4335] to God [2316].
12 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [5025] days [2250], that he went out [1831] into [1519] a mountain [3735] to pray [4336], and [2532] continued all night [1273] [2258] in [1722] prayer [4335] to God [2316].
13 And [2532] when [3753] it was [1096] day [2250], he called [4377] unto him his [846] disciples [3101]: and [2532] of [575] them [846] he chose [1586] twelve [1427], whom [3739] also [2532] he named [3687] apostles [652];
14 Simon [4613], (whom [3739] he also [2532] named [3687] Peter [4074],) and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80], James [2385] and [2532] John [2491], Philip [5376] and [2532] Bartholomew [918],
15 Matthew [3156] and [2532] Thomas [2381], James [2385] the [3588] son of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Simon [4613] called [2564] Zelotes [2208],
16 And Judas [2455] the brother of James [2385], and [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], which [3739] also [2532] was [1096] the traitor [4273].
17 And [2532] he came down [2597] with [3326] them [846], and stood [2476] in [1909] the plain [3977] [5117], and [2532] the company [3793] of his [846] disciples [3101], and [2532] a great [4183] multitude [4128] of people [2992] out of [575] all [3956] Judaea [2449] and [2532] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] from the sea coast [3882] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], which [3739] came [2064] to hear [191] him [846], and [2532] to be healed [2390] of [575] their [846] diseases [3554];
18 And [2532] they that were vexed [3791] with [5259] unclean [169] spirits [4151]: and [2532] they were healed [2323].
19 And [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [3793] sought [2212] to touch [680] him [846]: for [3754] there went [1831] virtue [1411] out [3844] of him [846], and [2532] healed [2390] them all [3956].
13 And [2532] he goeth up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735], and [2532] calleth [4341] unto him whom [3739] he [846] would [2309]: and [2532] they came [565] unto [4314] him [846].
14 And [2532] he ordained [4160] twelve [1427], that [2443] they should be [5600] with [3326] him [846], and [2532] that [2443] he might send [649] them [846] forth [649] to preach [2784],
15 And [2532] to have [2192] power [1849] to heal [2323] sicknesses [3554], and [2532] to cast out [1544] devils [1140]:
16 And [2532] Simon [4613] he surnamed [2007] [3686] Peter [4074];
17 And [2532] James [2385] the son [3588] of Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] the brother [80] of James [2385]; and [2532] he surnamed [2007] [3686] them [846] Boanerges [993], which is [3603], The sons [5207] of thunder [1027]:
18 And [2532] Andrew [406], and [2532] Philip [5376], and [2532] Bartholomew [918], and [2532] Matthew [3156], and [2532] Thomas [2381], and [2532] James [2385] the son [3588] of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Thaddaeus [2280], and [2532] Simon [4613] the Canaanite [2581],
21 And [2532] going on [4260] from thence [1564], he saw [1492] other [243] two [1417] brethren [80], James [2385] the son of [3588] Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], in [1722] a ship [4143] with [3326] Zebedee [2199] their [846] father [3962], mending [2675] their [846] nets [1350]; and [2532] he called [2564] them [846].
1 Am [1510] I not [3756] an apostle [652]? am [1510] I not [3756] free [1658]? have I not [3780] seen [3708] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962]? are [2075] not [3756] ye [5210] my [3450] work [2041] in [1722] the Lord [2962]?
22 Beginning [756] from [575] the baptism [908] of John [2491], unto [2193] that same day [2250] that [3739] he was taken up [353] from [575] us [2257], must [1163] one [1520] be ordained [1096] to be a witness [3144] with [4862] us [2254] of his [846] resurrection [386].
20 And are built [2026] upon [1909] the foundation [2310] of the apostles [652] and [2532] prophets [4396], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] himself [846] being [5607] the chief corner [204] stone;
21 In [1722] whom [3739] all [3956] the building [3619] fitly framed together [4883] groweth [837] unto [1519] an holy [40] temple [3485] in [1722] the Lord [2962]:
22 In [1722] whom [3739] ye [5210] also [2532] are builded together [4925] for [1519] an habitation [2732] of God [2316] through [1722] the Spirit [4151].
1 And [2532] when [1722] the day [2250] of Pentecost [4005] was fully come [4845], they were [2258] all [537] with one accord [3661] in [1909] one place [846].
2 And [2532] suddenly [869] there came [1096] a sound [2279] from [1537] heaven [3772] as [5618] of a rushing [5342] mighty [972] wind [4157], and [2532] it filled [4137] all [3650] the house [3624] where [3757] they were [2258] sitting [2521].
3 And [2532] there appeared [3700] unto them [846] cloven [1266] tongues [1100] like as [5616] of fire [4442], and [5037] it sat [2523] upon [1909] each [1538] [1520] of them [846].
4 And [2532] they were [4130] all [537] filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] began [756] to speak with [2980] other [2087] tongues [1100], as [2531] the Spirit [4151] gave [1325] them [846] utterance [669].
1 For this [5127] cause [5484] I [1473] Paul [3972], the prisoner [1198] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [5228] you [5216] Gentiles [1484],
2 If [1489] ye have heard [191] of the dispensation [3622] of the grace [5485] of God [2316] which [3588] is given [1325] me [3427] to [1519] you-ward [5209]:
3 How that [3754] by [2596] revelation [602] he made known [1107] unto me [3427] the mystery [3466]; (as [2531] I wrote afore [4270] in [1722] few words [3641],
4 Whereby [4314] [3739], when ye read [314], ye may [1410] understand [3539] my [3450] knowledge [4907] in [1722] the mystery [3466] of Christ [5547])
5 Which [3739] in [1722] other [2087] ages [1074] was [1107] not [3756] made known [1107] unto the sons [5207] of men [444], as [5613] it is [601] now [3568] revealed [601] unto his [846] holy [40] apostles [652] and [2532] prophets [4396] by [1722] the Spirit [4151];
6 That the Gentiles [1484] should be [1511] fellowheirs [4789], and [2532] of the same body [4954], and [2532] partakers [4830] of his [846] promise [1860] in [1722] Christ [5547] by [1223] the gospel [2098]:
7 Whereof [3739] I was made [1096] a minister [1249], according [2596] to the gift [1431] of the grace [5485] of God [2316] given [1325] unto me [3427] by [2596] the effectual working [1753] of his [846] power [1411].
8 Unto me [1698], who am less than the least [1647] of all [3956] saints [40], is [1325] this [3778] grace [5485] given [1325], that I should preach [2097] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484] the unsearchable [421] riches [4149] of Christ [5547];
9 And [2532] to make [5461] all [3956] men see [5461] what [5101] is the fellowship [2842] of the mystery [3466], which [3588] from [575] the beginning of the world [165] hath been hid [613] in [1722] God [2316], who [3588] created [2936] all things [3956] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
10 To the intent that [2443] now [3568] unto the principalities [746] and [2532] powers [1849] in [1722] heavenly [2032] places might be known [1107] by [1223] the church [1577] the manifold [4182] wisdom [4678] of God [2316],
11 According to [2596] the eternal [165] purpose [4286] which [3739] he purposed [4160] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] our [2257] Lord [2962]:
12 In [1722] whom [3739] we have [2192] boldness [3954] and [2532] access [4318] with [1722] confidence [4006] by [1223] the faith [4102] of him [846].
18 And [1161] I say [3004] also [2504] unto thee [4671], That [3754] thou [4771] art [1488] Peter [4074], and [2532] upon [1909] this [5026] rock [4073] I will build [3618] my [3450] church [1577]; and [2532] the gates [4439] of hell [86] shall [2729] not [3756] prevail against [2729] it [846].
28 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] ye [5210] which [3588] have followed [190] me [3427], in [1722] the regeneration [3824] when [3752] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall sit [2523] in [1909] the throne [2362] of his [846] glory [1391], ye [5210] also [2532] shall sit [2523] upon [1909] twelve [1427] thrones [2362], judging [2919] the twelve [1427] tribes [5443] of Israel [2474].
19 And [2532] I will give [1325] unto thee [4671] the keys [2807] of the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt bind [1210] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] bound [1210] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt loose [3089] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] loosed [3089] in [1722] heaven [3772].
7 And [1161] as ye go [4198], preach [2784], saying [3004], [3754] The kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is at hand [1448].
8 Heal [2323] the sick [770], cleanse [2511] the lepers [3015], raise [1453] the dead [3498], cast out [1544] devils [1140]: freely [1432] ye have received [2983], freely [1432] give [1325].
17 From [575] that time [5119] Jesus [2424] began [756] to preach [2784], and [2532] to say [3004], Repent [3340]: for [1063] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is at hand [1448].
5 These [5128] twelve [1427] Jesus [2424] sent forth [649], and commanded [3853] them [846], saying [3004], Go [565] not [3361] into [1519] the way [3598] of the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] into [1519] any city [4172] of the Samaritans [4541] enter ye [1525] not [3361]:
6 But [1161] go [4198] rather [3123] to [4314] the lost [622] sheep [4263] of the house [3624] of Israel [2474].
8 And [2532] they departed [1831] quickly [5035] from [575] the sepulchre [3419] with [3326] fear [5401] and [2532] great [3173] joy [5479]; and did run [5143] to bring [518] his [846] disciples [3101] word [518].
9 And [1161] as [5613] they went [4198] to tell [518] his [846] disciples [3101], [2532] behold [2400], Jesus [2424] met [528] them [846], saying [3004], All hail [5463]. And [1161] they came [4334] and held [2902] him [846] by the feet [4228], and [2532] worshipped [4352] him [846].
16 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], as we [2257] went [4198] to [1519] prayer [4335], a certain [5100] damsel [3814] possessed [2192] with a spirit [4151] of divination [4436] met [528] us [2254], which [3748] brought [3930] her [846] masters [2962] much [4183] gain [2039] by soothsaying [3132]:
17 The same [3778] followed [2628] Paul [3972] and [2532] us [2254], and cried [2896], saying [3004], These [3778] men [444] are [1526] the servants [1401] of the most high [5310] God [2316], which [3748] shew [2605] unto us [2254] the way [3598] of salvation [4991].
18 And [1161] this [5124] did she [4160] [1909] many [4183] days [2250]. But [1161] Paul [3972], being grieved [1278], turned [1994] and [2532] said [2036] to the spirit [4151], I command [3853] thee [4671] in [1722] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] to come [1831] out of [575] her [846]. And [2532] he came out [1831] the same [846] hour [5610].
15 Insomuch [5620] that they brought forth [1627] the sick [772] into [2596] the streets [4113], and [2532] laid [5087] them on [1909] beds [2825] and [2532] couches [2895], that [2443] at the least [2579] the shadow [4639] of Peter [4074] passing by [2064] might overshadow [1982] some [5100] of them [846].
16 [1161] There came [4905] also [2532] a multitude [4128] out of the cities [4172] round about [4038] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419], bringing [5342] sick [772] folks, and [2532] them which were vexed [3791] with [5259] unclean [169] spirits [4151]: and they [3748] were healed [2323] every one [537].
1 And [2532] when he had called [4341] unto him his [846] twelve [1427] disciples [3101], he gave [1325] them [846] power [1849] against unclean [169] spirits [4151], to [5620] cast [1544] them [846] out [1544], and [2532] to heal [2323] all manner [3956] of sickness [3554] and [2532] all manner [3956] of disease [3119].
1 Paul [3972], a servant [1401] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], called [2822] to be an apostle [652], separated [873] unto [1519] the gospel [2098] of God [2316],
15 For [3754] thou shalt be [2071] his [846] witness [3144] unto [4314] all [3956] men [444] of what [3739] thou hast seen [3708] and [2532] heard [191].
14 And [1161] he said [2036], The God [2316] of our [2257] fathers [3962] hath chosen [4400] thee [4571], that thou shouldest know [1097] his [846] will [2307], and [2532] see [1492] that Just One [1342], and [2532] shouldest hear [191] the voice [5456] of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750].
10 And [1161] I said [2036], What [5101] shall I do [4160], Lord [2962]? And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036] unto [4314] me [3165], Arise [450], and go [4198] into [1519] Damascus [1154]; and there [2546] it shall be told [2980] thee [4671] of [4012] all things [3956] which [3739] are appointed [5021] for thee [4671] to do [4160].
2 As [1161] they [846] ministered [3008] to the Lord [2962], and [2532] fasted [3522], the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] said [2036], [1211] Separate [873] me [3427] [5037] Barnabas [921] and [2532] Saul [4569] for [1519] the work [2041] whereunto [3739] I have called [4341] them [846].
15 But [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Go thy way [4198]: for [3754] he [3778] is [2076] a chosen [1589] vessel [4632] unto me [3427], to bear [941] my [3450] name [3686] before [1799] the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] kings [935], and [5037] the children [5207] of Israel [2474]:
6 And [5037] he trembling [5141] and [2532] astonished [2284] said [2036], Lord [2962], what [5101] wilt thou have [2309] me [3165] to do [4160]? And [2532] the Lord [2962] said unto [4314] him [846], Arise [450], and [2532] go [1525] into [1519] the city [4172], and [2532] it shall be told [2980] thee [4671] what [5101] thou [4571] must [1163] do [4160].
13 And [2532] when [3753] it was [1096] day [2250], he called [4377] unto him his [846] disciples [3101]: and [2532] of [575] them [846] he chose [1586] twelve [1427], whom [3739] also [2532] he named [3687] apostles [652];
13 And [2532] he goeth up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735], and [2532] calleth [4341] unto him whom [3739] he [846] would [2309]: and [2532] they came [565] unto [4314] him [846].
14 And [2532] he ordained [4160] twelve [1427], that [2443] they should be [5600] with [3326] him [846], and [2532] that [2443] he might send [649] them [846] forth [649] to preach [2784],
1 And [2532] when he had called [4341] unto him his [846] twelve [1427] disciples [3101], he gave [1325] them [846] power [1849] against unclean [169] spirits [4151], to [5620] cast [1544] them [846] out [1544], and [2532] to heal [2323] all manner [3956] of sickness [3554] and [2532] all manner [3956] of disease [3119].
2 Now [1161] the names [3686] of the twelve [1427] apostles [652] are [2076] these [5023]; The first [4413], Simon [4613], who [3588] is called [3004] Peter [4074], and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80]; James [2385] the son of [3588] Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80];
26 And [2532] they gave forth [1325] their [846] lots [2819]; and [2532] the lot [2819] fell [4098] upon [1909] Matthias [3159]; and [2532] he was numbered [4785] with [3326] the eleven [1733] apostles [652].
16 Men [435] and brethren [80], this [5026] scripture [1124] must [1163] needs have been fulfilled [4137], which [3739] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of David [1138] spake before [4277] concerning [4012] Judas [2455], which [3588] was [1096] guide [3595] to them that took [4815] Jesus [2424].
17 For [3754] he was [2258] numbered [2674] with [4862] us [2254], and [2532] had obtained [2975] part [2819] of this [5026] ministry [1248].
18 Now [3303] [3767] this man [3778] purchased [2932] a field [5564] with [1537] the reward [3408] of iniquity [93]; and [2532] falling [1096] headlong [4248], he burst asunder [2997] in the midst [3319], and [2532] all [3956] his [846] bowels [4698] gushed out [1632].
19 And [2532] it was [1096] known [1110] unto all [3956] the dwellers [2730] at Jerusalem [2419]; insomuch as [5620] that [1565] field [5564] is called [2564] in their [846] proper [2398] tongue [1258], Aceldama [184], that is to say [5123], The field [5564] of blood [129].
20 For [1063] it is written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of Psalms [5568], Let [1096] his [846] habitation [1886] be [1096] desolate [2048], and [2532] let [2077] no man [3361] dwell [2730] therein [1722] [846]: and [2532] his [846] bishoprick [1984] let [2983] another [2087] take [2983].
21 Wherefore [3767] of these [5130] men [435] which have companied [4905] with us [2254] all [3956] the time [5550] that [1722] [3739] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] went [1831] in [1525] and [2532] out [1831] among [1909] us [2248],
22 Beginning [756] from [575] the baptism [908] of John [2491], unto [2193] that same day [2250] that [3739] he was taken up [353] from [575] us [2257], must [1163] one [1520] be ordained [1096] to be a witness [3144] with [4862] us [2254] of his [846] resurrection [386].
23 And [2532] they appointed [2476] two [1417], Joseph [2501] called [2564] Barsabas [923], who [3739] was surnamed [1941] Justus [2459], and [2532] Matthias [3159].
24 And [2532] they prayed [4336], and said [2036], Thou [4771], Lord [2962], which knowest the hearts [2589] of all [3956] men, shew [322] whether [3739] [1520] of [1537] these [5130] two [1417] thou hast chosen [1586],
25 That he may take [2983] part [2819] of this [5026] ministry [1248] and [2532] apostleship [651], from [1537] which [3739] Judas [2455] by transgression fell [3845], that he might go [4198] to [1519] his own [2398] place [5117].
26 And [2532] they gave forth [1325] their [846] lots [2819]; and [2532] the lot [2819] fell [4098] upon [1909] Matthias [3159]; and [2532] he was numbered [4785] with [3326] the eleven [1733] apostles [652].
2 As [1161] they [846] ministered [3008] to the Lord [2962], and [2532] fasted [3522], the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] said [2036], [1211] Separate [873] me [3427] [5037] Barnabas [921] and [2532] Saul [4569] for [1519] the work [2041] whereunto [3739] I have called [4341] them [846].
14 Which when [1161] the apostles [652], Barnabas [921] and [2532] Paul [3972], heard [191] of, they rent [1284] their [846] clothes [2440], and ran [1530] in among [1519] the people [3793], crying out [2896],
1 Wherefore [3606], holy [40] brethren [80], partakers [3353] of the heavenly [2032] calling [2821], consider [2657] the Apostle [652] and [2532] High Priest [749] of our [2257] profession [3671], Christ [5547] Jesus [2424];
25 Yet [1161] I supposed [2233] it necessary [316] to send [3992] to [4314] you [5209] Epaphroditus [1891], my [3450] brother [80], and [2532] companion in labour [4904], and [2532] fellowsoldier [4961], but [1161] your [5216] messenger [652], and [2532] he that ministered [3011] to my [3450] wants [5532].
23 Whether [1535] any do enquire of [5228] Titus [5103], he is my [1699] partner [2844] and [2532] fellowhelper [4904] concerning [1519] you [5209]: or [1535] our [2257] brethren [80] be enquired of, they are the messengers [652] of the churches [1577], and the glory [1391] of Christ [5547].
1 Wherefore [3606], holy [40] brethren [80], partakers [3353] of the heavenly [2032] calling [2821], consider [2657] the Apostle [652] and [2532] High Priest [749] of our [2257] profession [3671], Christ [5547] Jesus [2424];
18 As [2531] thou hast sent [649] me [1691] into [1519] the world [2889], even so [2504] have [649] I also [2504] sent [649] them [846] into [1519] the world [2889].
2 Until [891] the day [2250] in which [3739] he was taken up [353], after that he through [1223] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] had given commandments [1781] unto the apostles [652] whom [3739] he had chosen [1586]:
13 And [2532] when [3753] it was [1096] day [2250], he called [4377] unto him his [846] disciples [3101]: and [2532] of [575] them [846] he chose [1586] twelve [1427], whom [3739] also [2532] he named [3687] apostles [652];
16 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], The servant [1401] is [2076] not [3756] greater than [3187] his [846] lord [2962]; neither [3761] he that is sent [652] greater than [3187] he that sent [3992] him [846].
1 And [2532] when he had called [4341] unto him his [846] twelve [1427] disciples [3101], he gave [1325] them [846] power [1849] against unclean [169] spirits [4151], to [5620] cast [1544] them [846] out [1544], and [2532] to heal [2323] all manner [3956] of sickness [3554] and [2532] all manner [3956] of disease [3119].
13 And [2532] when [3753] they were come in [1525], they went up [305] into [1519] an upper room [5253], where [3757] abode [2258] [2650] both [5037] Peter [4074], and [2532] James [2385], and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] Andrew [406], Philip [5376], and [2532] Thomas [2381], Bartholomew [918], and [2532] Matthew [3156], James [2385] the son of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Simon [4613] Zelotes [2208], and [2532] Judas [2455] the brother of James [2385].
