Mark 3:14
Jesus selects a certain group of twelve. The number seems to be by design to parallel the twelve tribes of Israel. This is not to mimic the law, but to signify the importance of this new gospel age that was to dawn with the return of Christ to the Father. Of course, he knew that Judas would betray him. Yet, he selects him anyway because it was consistent with the Father’s will, and thus with his.

Your honor is without measure and your greatness is beyond our comprehension. We praise you with all that we are! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
