2 The names of the ^wtwelve apostles are these: first, ^xSimon, who is called Peter, and ^yAndrew his brother; ^zJames the son of Zebedee, and ^aJohn his brother;

16 Simon Peter replied, ^d“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

16 ^wPassing alongside the ^xSea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

16 He appointed the ^ctwelve: ^dSimon (to whom he gave the ^ename Peter);

29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, ^v“You are the Christ.”

14 ^pSimon, whom he ^qnamed Peter, and ^rAndrew his brother, and ^sJames and John, and ^tPhilip, and ^uBartholomew,

20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, ^v“The Christ of God.”

42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. ^cYou shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter¹).

44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

7 On the contrary, when they saw that ^xI had been ^yentrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised
