Bible Note: Apostle "a witness to the resurrection of Christ, sent by him" The twelve names of the twelve apostles NASB Revelation 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 'Apostle. Someone sent with a special message or commission. Jesus is called the apostle and high Priest of our confession in Hebrews 3:1. The twelve apostles of Jesus were Simon Peter, Andrew, James the son of Zebedee, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot. Paul became an apostle after Jesus' resurrection (2 Cor. 1:1), along with Barnabas (Acts 14:14), and others.' (http://www.carm.org/dictionary/dic_a-b.htm#_1_10) 'In the New Testament apostolos [ajpovstolo"] is applied to Jesus as the Sent One of God (Heb 3:1), to those sent by God to preach to Israel (Luke 11:49), to those sent by churches (2 Col 8:23; Php 2:25), and most often, to the individuals who had been appointed by Christ to preach the gospel of the kingdom. This latter category, however, is understood differently by New Testament writers. For example, Luke-Acts uses the term "apostle" to refer almost exclusively to the Twelve, while Paul uses it in relation to a broader group of individuals. The expression "all the apostles" in 1 Corinthians 15:7 seems to include more than the twelve referred to in verse 5. James is considered here, and in Galatians 1:19, to be an apostle. Barnabas is referred to as an apostle in ac 14:14 ( 11:22-24; 13:1-4). Paul calls Andronicus and Junias apostles in Romans 16:7. In this broader sense, an apostle was a witness to the resurrection of Christ, sent by him to make disciples of all nations.' (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/) |
