AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb (Christ). |
Bible Question: Is there any signifigance of the number 12? Why were there 12 apostles, not 10 or 11 ? Thanks. |
Bible Answer: 12 is the number of the tribes of Israel. See Revelations 21:12-14. There were at least 72 (Luke 10:17) who might have been called disciples but after the death of Judas only two were chosen between as a replacement(Acts 1:23) because of all they witnessed. |
