We find the names of the disciples in the Gospel books of Matthew 10:2-4, Mark 3:14-19 and Luke 6:13-16. He exalts the humble and lays low those who are proud. That’s how it has always been in God’s economy.

Christ purposely passed over the elite, aristocratic, and influential men of society and chose mostly the men from the dregs of society. They were from rural areas, farmers, and fisherman. What we know to be true about Jesus is that He chose ordinary and unrefined men to be his apostles. Jesus’ plan was to eventually have the disciples take over and carry on the work He had started. Jesus spent three years training these men to be leaders. They were Jews, uneducated commoners, and simple men of faith who gave up everything to be followers of Christ. Twelve men responded to the call to be disciples of Jesus. And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named apostles. It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.
