(the disciples) his closest disciples who were 12 in number (said: we will be allah's helpers) against his enemies. (we believe in allah, and bear thou witness) know, o jesus (that we have surrendered (unto him)) we acknowledge allah by worshipping him and declaring his divine oneness.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : and when jesus sensed, [when] he became aware of, their disbelief, and they plotted to kill him, he said, ‘who will be my helpers, departing, unto god?’, to help his religion; the disciples said, ‘we will be helpers of god, those who assist his religion: they were jesus’s intimates and the first to believe in him. [they were] twelve men who were of pure white complexion (hawar); but some say that they [were called hawāriyyūn because they] were bleachers of clothes (qassārūn); we believe in, we accept the truth of, god; witness, o jesus, that we have submitted.
