Calling the Twelve Disciples
Easy Print Version on Luke 6:12-19 for Handouts

Luke 6:12-19

12 Now during those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God.

13 And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles: 14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, 15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot, 16 and Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17 He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all in the crowd were trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them.— NRSV

 

BIBLE QUESTIONS FOR THINKING PEOPLE

Why do you think Jesus chose twelve apostles from among His disciples? What could a church do with twelve people as committed as Jesus’ apostles?






Why do you think Jesus chose the various types of people He chose to be apostles? How can a church include a larger variety of people?






Why do you think Luke emphasized that Judas “became a traitor”? What things surprise you sometimes about what someone “becomes” after they say they believe in Jesus?






What is the difference between a great crowd of disciples and a great multitude of people? How can you help someone move from the multitude to become a disciple of Jesus?
