If [the] Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has shortened [them] .

(BSB)
When daylight came, He called His disciples {to Him} and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

(BSB)
And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, [and it] will not be taken away from her.”

When [Jesus] noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

Jesus answered them, “ {Have} I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”

(BSB)
I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The [one who] eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’

You {did} not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit— fruit that will remain— so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

If you were of the world, [it] would love [you] [as] its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
