    Why were there only 12 deciples?

    And why were they men except the marys
  • Jesse - In Reply on Hebrews 3 - 3 years ago
    Jacqueline,

    There were 12 Original apostles, but many disciples. A disciple is a follower of Christ. There were and are many, many disciples, but no more apostles. An apostle was someone who was chosen specifically by Jesus and functioned as an ambassador of God. An apostle was somebody who was sent out on a commission.
