70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not ^kchoose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.”

16 You did not choose me, but ^mI chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

19 If you were ^pof the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are ^qnot of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

The Twelve Apostles

13 ^aAnd he went up on the mountain and called to him those whom he desired, and they came to him.

13 And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them ^otwelve, whom he named apostles:

2 until the day when he was ^btaken up, after he had given ^ccommands through the Holy Spirit to the ^dapostles whom he had chosen.
