Mark 3:13–19 NASB95

13 And He went up on the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him. 14 And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach, 15 and to have authority to cast out the demons. 16 And He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), 17 and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, “Sons of Thunder”); 18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot; 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.

Notice here that Jesus calls the twelve and they responded to the call by coming to him. It is one thing to be called but another to follow and respond to the call. He anointed the twelve and designed them to be apostles that he might send them out to preach the gospel and to have authority to cast out devils. When we are in the right relationship with Jesus he gives us power and authority over the demons. The last thing Jesus does as he calls the twelve is gives them a name. Simon (meaning obedient one) he surnamed Peter, which means rock. He gave the brother James and John the name Boanerges which means sons of thunder. This is him giving us purpose and allowing us to realizes our assignment.
