Jesus chose the 12 disciples, knowing who they were and all of their future failings. He chose twelve "ordinary men". The group included lowly fishermen and despised tax collectors, and he even chose Judas Iscariot whom he knew would betray him. The 11 disciples became Apostles and founded the Church after Jesus sent them out to do so. They did great things for God, but in the beginning, they were full of blunders and mistakes.
