Luke 6:12  Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.  13  And when it was day, He called His disciples to [Himself]; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:  14  Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;  15  Matthew and Thomas; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot;  16  Judas [the] [son] of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.

Matthew 28:16  Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.  17  When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.  18  And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  19  "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  20  "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, [even] to the end of the age." Amen.
