Mark 3:16
14 He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,
15 and to have authority to drive out demons.
These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),
17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),
18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
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.
