#### More Information About This Topic
In the New Testament, the word “apostle” was a title. That is, only certain people could be called an apostle. This is because God only gave certain people permission to be an apostle. This word is used in three different ways in the New Testament:
1. The 12 disciples who followed Jesus were apostles.
1. Paul and Matthias were apostles (see: Ephesians 1:1; Acts 1:26).
1. If God sent someone with a message, then that person was an apostle. The person was able to bring this message because the Holy Spirit had given the person the gift of being an apostle (see: 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, 28).
In the New Testament, the word “apostle” was a title. That is, only certain people could be called an apostle. This is because God only gave certain people permission to be an apostle.
The words “the apostles” are first used when speaking about the 12 men whom Jesus chose to be his disciples (see: Matthew 10:2-4; Luke 6:12-16). These were men whom Jesus specially trained. He trained them to teach other people the things he taught. He also trained them for telling people about the gospel after he died.
