Mark tells THE (Real Ruler's) "Good-News". Chapter 3 [Pericope 19]

Pericope  19 - New True One People of the True One God!

And up he goes into a mountain and

calls to come near to him those whom he wants,

and they went to him. Appointing twelve (who'd "man"

the places of the twelve tribes who had gone..

..so poorly in their history so far -

the sons of Isra'-el, who led twelve  tribes.

A new Isra'-el had come where they are

in time, and space; and this is God's new "vibe".)

And giving a new name he called them his 

own "sent ones" ("ap-os-tell-ous" in the Greek),

to herald his own message, take his biz'

ness out, when they'd "hung with him" so to speak -

known him, his ways, and motivations, and 

his "take" on things, and plans and policies.

And they would have authority to  (stand,

& like him) throw out demons. … They were these

[the twelve he then apointed],  added he

               •  to Simon, the name "Peter" (-means "bedrock"),

               •  and James who was the son of Zebedee 

               •  and John, the brother of that James, unmocked

        to these he adds the name "Bo-anergies", 

        which is the Sons of Thunder  (-Thunderers. 

        Did this allude to when they'd use their knees

        and hands, and mouth, to "herald out" his news?)

               •  and Andrew,  • Philip, • and Bartholomew,

               •  and Matthew, • and too Thomas, • also James 

        the son of Alphaeus, •  Thadeus too,

               •  and Simon, Caananite (zealous for shames 

        a-righted, "Canaan" back to rightful ones  

        - who, as they saw it, were children who came

        from Abraham, then Isaac, Jacob's sons)

               •  and Judah Iscarioth13 who'd betray 'im.

13. Judah Iskarioth, probably the most like Jesus's own parents' family, of the tribe of Judah, from that famous town  Kerioth in the South. In fact according to Mark, later on, the list of Jesus's own brothers included a Simon, a James, & … a Judah.
