Jesus choosees twelve to be apostles (sent out ones) for the purpose of preaching. They would have the power to drive out demons, which is great power, God's power. So of course they would also be able to heal diseases. The miracles would give backing to the message, proof that the message was from God.
Simon Peter, James and John of Zebedee, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus,Simon and Judas Iscariot.
Jesus chose the one who would betray him. Knew it ahead of time, but treated him no differently. Gave the treasury to him, not to Matthew. Entrusted him with responsibility, even knowing that trust would be broken.
