Early in his ministry, Jesus spent the night on a mountain, alone in prayer. When daylight came, he gathered his disciples around him. From them, he chose twelve apostles to send forth, delivering thegospel of the Lord. These twelve men were: Simon, whom Jesus named Peter; Matthew; John; Bartholomew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon; Thaddeus; Andrew; Judas Iscariot; James, son of Zebedee; and Philip. Through Christ's teachings, the twelve apostles brought the word of Jesus to the people. He gave His apostles the power to heal the sick, to raise the dead, and to cast out unclean spirits. They stood by His side at the last supper, witnessed His crucifixion, and spread His word following the resurrection. Their mission is a glorious example of how God delivers extraordinary thingsthrough ordinary people.
