The narrative details how Jesus, after performing numerous miracles such as healing the sick and bringing peace, decided to select a core group of twelve men from his followers to assist him in his divine mission. The text emphasizes Jesus's prayerful deliberation in choosing these individuals, spending a full night in communion with God on a mountain before making his selection in the morning. These chosen men, referred to as special helpers or apostles, included prominent figures like Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John, all of whom had previously left their fishing businesses to follow Jesus. The document also lists other apostles chosen: Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, Simon the Zealot, James the son of Alphaeus, and Judas, the brother of James. It notes that Judas Iscariot later betrayed Jesus. The narrative concludes with Jesus's teaching that obedience to his words is akin to building a house on a strong foundation, one that can withstand severe storms. The accompanying images visually represent these biblical events, showing Jesus with his followers, a depiction of healing, and Jesus addressing a crowd.","# 39 Jesus Chooses 12 Helpers\n\nWritten by Edward Hughes www.bibleforchildren.org 39/60  \nJesus did wonderful things.He healed  \ndiseases,gave troubled people peace in theirhearts and minds,and taught God's Word.  \nCrowds came to Jesus for help and healing.He decided to choose twelve men from Hismany followers to help Him in His work for  \nGod.  \nIfyou have important choicesto make,do you pray to God?Jesus did!In a quiet mountainplace He spoke to His HeavenlyFather.Jesus prayed until thesun went down.  \n++Jesusprayedathroughthelongdarknight+  \nIn the morning,Jesus called His followers-all the friends whoserved and obeyed Him.From them He chose twelve to bespecial helpers,or apostles.  \nThe first two Jesus chose were brothers,Simon Peter andAndrew.They had left their fishing business when Jesus firstcalled them to follow Him.  \nJames and John,sons of Zebedee,had also left their fishing nets.  \nJesus also chose Philip,  \nBartholomew,Matthew,Thomas,Simon the Zealot,James the sonof Alphaeus,Judas a brother ofJames,and Judas Iscariot wholater became Jesus'enemy.  \nJesus taught that doingwhat He says is like buildinga house on a solid  \nfoundation.Fierce stormswill not destroy that house.","cbCaipv9MdCrX13J","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipv9MdCrX13J","pdf",2337944,1,24,"English","en",105,"# Jesus Chooses 12 Helpers\n## Jesus's Ministry\n## The Choice of the Twelve Apostles\n## The Names of the Apostles\n## Jesus's Teaching on Obedience","[{\"question\":\"Why did Jesus choose twelve helpers?\",\"answer\":\"Jesus chose twelve men from his followers to help him in his work for God, after performing many miracles and teaching God's word.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Jesus choose his helpers?\",\"answer\":\"Jesus prayed all night on a mountain to his Heavenly Father before choosing twelve men from all his followers to be his special helpers, or apostles.\"},{\"question\":\"Who were some of the disciples Jesus chose?\",\"answer\":\"Some of the disciples Jesus chose were Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John, who had left their fishing businesses to follow him.
