Despite reports to the contrary there are not 12, but 13 apostles, (not including Judas Iscariot who sacrificed his calling for the flesh). In Matthew 10, Luke 6, and Mark 3, we see the names of the 12 men Jesus chose to go to Israel and tell the children of Jacob, "the kingdom of heaven is at hand." The 13th was Paul who was called after Jesus left and was ascended into heaven. His calling, unlike the 12, was to the gentiles in accord with the "Great Commission" in Matthew 28. If you have ever wanted to know more about the 13, this recording is for you. |
