The apostles {\cf2\super [79]} \{that Jesus sent out\} came back to Jesus. They gathered around Jesus and told him about all the things they did and taught.
These are the names of the twelve apostles {\cf2\super [119]} : Simon (also called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
Jesus chose twelve men and called them apostles. {\cf2\super [45]} Jesus wanted these twelve men to be with him, and he wanted to send them to other places to tell people \{God’s message\}.
When the 72 {\cf2\super [187]} men came back from their trip, they were very happy. They said, “Lord, even the demons {\cf2\super [188]} obeyed us when we used your name!”
When the apostles {\cf2\super [164]} came back, they told Jesus the things they had done on their trip. Then Jesus took them away to a town called Bethsaida. There, Jesus and his apostles could be alone together.
Then the apostles used lots {\cf2\super [16]} to choose one of the two men. The lots showed that Matthias was the one that the Lord wanted. So he became an apostle with the other eleven.
