Luke 6:14
12 In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.
13 When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:
Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
15 Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
