Luke 6:12-19 says, “12And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 13And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; 14Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, 16And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. 17And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 18And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. 19And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.”

From this moment of continuing all night in prayer, Jesus chose from His disciples the apostles of the faith. Notice that Judas Iscariot, the One who would later betrayed Him, was chosen. Do you think Jesus did not know what Judas would eventually do? Of course He did. Although Judas would betray Jesus, it did not mean that Jesus missed the will of the Father. It indicated a much broader realization that even though the fruit of prayer can seem deceiving when things appear to be wrong, God has a bigger picture in mind to bring about the revelation of His power!
