Apostleship Apostle

Apostleship Apostle

1: ἀπόστολος (Strong'S #652 — Noun Masculine — apostolos — ap-os'-tol-os )

is, lit., "one sent forth" (apo, "from," stello, "to send"). "The word is used of the Lord Jesus to describe His relation to God,  Hebrews 3:1; see  John 17:3 . The twelve disciples chosen by the Lord for special training were so called,  Luke 6:13;  9:10 . Paul, though he had seen the Lord Jesus,  1 Corinthians 9:1;  15:8 , had not 'companied with' the Twelve 'all the time' of His earthly ministry, and hence was not eligible for a place among them, according to Peter's description of the necessary qualifications,  Acts 1:22 . Paul was commissioned directly, by the Lord Himself, after His Ascension, to carry the Gospel to the Gentiles.

 Acts 14:4,14 Romans 16:7  2 Corinthians 8:23  Philippians 2:25  1 Thessalonians 2:6

"a sending, a mission," signifies an apostleship,  Acts 1:25;  Romans 1:5;  1 Corinthians 9:2;  Galatians 2:8 .
