Jesus Chooses the 12 Apostles (Luke 6): Peter, Andrew, James & John | Church History & Discipleship This episode of Theology and Apologetics with Thomas Fretwell continues Luke 6 as Jesus, amid escalating conflict with the Pharisees, spends a night in prayer and chooses twelve disciples as apostles. The teaching explains what it means to be a disciple and highlights that the apostles were ordinary men whom God used to change the world. It compares the four apostle lists (Luke 6, Matthew 10, Mark 3, Acts 1) and notes a likely structure of three groups of four led by Peter, Philip, and James son of Alphaeus. The episode then profiles Simon Peter and Andrew, and James and John, drawing from the Gospels and church history: Peter’s leadership, failures and restoration, ministry in Rome, and martyrdom; Andrew’s evangelistic role and crucifixion; James’s death by Herod Agrippa; and John’s transformation, writings, exile to Patmos, and long ministry in Ephesus.
