Jesus selected them because he thought they were able to disciple to his followers and be an example of Him.

fisherman when he began his journey with Jesus. Brought to Jesus by his brother, he is outspoken and impudent. Sometimes he would speak without even being called upon to do so. On more than one occasion he put his foot in his mouth and would brazenly say what he thought, sometimes having little faith.
