Lesson 2523

(Lesson 2523)(11-16-18) Luke 6:12-16
    “And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.”

    Today’s quote relates how Jesus, after praying for a day, called together all of His disciples and named twelve as His apostles.
    Those original twelve were designated to preach the coming of the new law of faith to the Jews. Saul of Tarsus (Paul) would be added to the apostles later and would be specifically designated to bring salvation to the Gentiles. ~
