Mark 16:14

The Great Commission

14Afterward ahe appeared bto the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their cunbelief and dhardness of heart, because ethey had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.

John 6:70

70Jesus answered them, f“Did I not choose you, gthe twelve? And yet one of you is ha devil.”

Acts 1:13-26

13And when they had entered, they went up to ithe upper room, where they were staying, jPeter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon kthe Zealot and Judas the son of James. 14All these lwith one accord mwere devoting themselves to prayer, together with nthe women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and ohis brothers.
Or  brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church; also verse 15


15In those days Peter stood up among qthe brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, 16Brothers, rthe Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, swho became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17For the was numbered among us and was allotted his share in uthis ministry.” 18(Now this man vacquired a field with wthe reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong
Or swelling up
he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
19And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called yin their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20For it is written in the Book of Psalms,

z“‘May his camp become desolate,
and let there be no one to dwell in it’;
and

aa“‘Let another take his office.’
21So one of the men who have accompanied us during aball the time that the Lord Jesus acwent in and out among us, 22 adbeginning from the baptism of John until the day when aehe was taken up from usone of these men must become with us afa witness to his resurrection.” 23And they put forward two, Joseph called agBarsabbas, who was also called ahJustus, and aiMatthias. 24And ajthey prayed and said, “You, Lord, akwho know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen 25to take the place in althis ministry and amapostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

1 Corinthians 15:15

15We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that anhe raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
