What does the Bible say about the calling of apostles?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible details how Jesus called His twelve apostles to be His messengers, empowering them for the ministry of healing and preaching the kingdom.

In Matthew 10, we observe the pivotal moment when Jesus calls His twelve disciples to become apostles, effectively sending them into the world as His messengers. This chapter emphasizes that they are to preach the impending kingdom of heaven, indicating the urgency of their mission. Notably, the apostles were empowered by Christ to perform miracles such as healing the sick and casting out demons, portraying the transformative power of the Gospel. These actions serve as both signs of Christ's authority and the mission entrusted to them by the Lord of the harvest. The call to apostleship is central to understanding the early church's foundation and the continuity of the Gospel message through the generations.
