Mar 3:13 | MHM | STEP | The Calling of the Apostles. This section describes how Jesus chose the twelve apostles to be his closest followers and special messengers. He called them to be with him, learn from him, and later go out to share his message and do miracles. Jesus chose his apostles not because of their status, but because it pleased him, and he gave them power to do great things for God. Even when crowds pressed in and his own family worried about him, Jesus kept doing God’s work with dedication. v. 13 : Jesus went up on a mountain to pray before choosing his apostles. This shows us that important decisions should be made with prayer. Even though Jesus had power to give the Holy Spirit, he set an example by praying first.
