Jesus chose Nathaniel

Jesus chose these six men, Peter, James, Andrews, John, Phillip and Nathaniel. Two men, Peter and Nathaniel made bold and profound statements, saying in a few words, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Andrew and Phillip simply brought others to meet Jesus.
James was bold in his declaration of Jesus which caught the attention of Herod who "killed James with the sword."
John wrote much about Jesus, The gospel, the epistles and Revelation.
