Mark 3:18

16 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”),

Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,

19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

20 Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.

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.
