Apostle

And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

“Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles.

Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.

Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),

having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,

So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
