- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2Apostles - This is the first place where the word is used. Ϛ, an apostle, comes from Ϛ, I send a message. The word was anciently used to signify a person commissioned by a king to negotiate any affair between him and any other power or people. Hence Ϛ and , apostles and heralds, are of the same import in Herodotus. See the remarks at the end of chap. 3. It is worthy of notice, that those who were Christ's apostles were first his disciples; to intimate…Read the comment

But our Evangelist, not intending to record the appointment, but only the Mission of the Twelve, gives their names here. And as in the Acts (Ac 1:13) we have a list of the Eleven who met daily in the upper room with the other disciples after their Master's ascension until the day of…Read the comment
