Contextual Overview

¹³ Then He went up the hill; and those whom He Himself chose He called, and they came to Him. ¹⁴ He appointed twelve of them, that they might be with Him, and that He might also send them to proclaim His Message, ¹⁵ with authority to expel the demons. ¹⁶ These twelve were Simon (to whom He gave the surname of Peter), ¹⁷ James the son of Zabdi and John the brother of James (these two He surnamed Boanerges, that is `Sons of Thunder'), ¹⁸ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananaean, ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, the man who also betrayed Him. ²⁰ And He went into a house. But again the crowd assembled, so that there was no opportunity for them even to snatch a meal. ²¹ Hearing of this, His relatives came to seize Him by force, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Simon he surnamed Peter. Or Cephas, which signifies a rock, or stone, because of his courage and constancy, his strength and fortitude, steadiness and firmness of mind: this name was imposed upon him, not at the time of his mission as an apostle; nor when he made that noble confession of his faith in Christ, as the Son of the living God, at which time this name was taken notice of; but when Christ first called him to be his disciple and apostle; see John 1:42.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For an account of the appointment of the apostles, see the notes at Matthew 10:1-4.

And calleth unto him whom he would - Those whom he chose; whom he was about to appoint to the apostleship. See the notes at John 15:16.

Mark 3:14

He ordained twelve - The word rendered “ordained” here does not express our notion of ordination to the ministry. It means, literally, “he made” - that is, he “appointed” twelve to be with him.

Twelve - The reason why “twelve” were chosen was, probably, that such a number would be deemed competent witnesses of what they saw; that they could not be easily charged with being excited by sympathy, or being deluded, as a multitude might; and that, being destined to go into all the world, a considerable number seemed indispensable. Perhaps, also, there was some reference to the fact that “twelve” was the number of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Mark 3:17

Boanerges - This word is made up of two Hebrew words signifying “sons of thunder,” meaning that they, on some accounts, “resembled” thunder. See the notes at Matthew 1:1. It is not known why this name was given to James and John. They are nowhere else called by it. Some suppose it was because they wished to call down fire from heaven and consume a certain village of the Samaritans, Luke 9:54. It is, however, more probable that it was on account of something fervid, and glowing, and powerful in their genius and eloquence.
