Luke 6:12 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.
Luke 6:13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
Luke 6:14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Luke 6:15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
Luke 6:16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
Notice it says Jesus called His disciples to Him, as He had many followers, and then He chose only twelve out of all of them in whom He called them, the twelve, apostles
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Once again the great commission was only given to that particular 12 as they only received power, but they had to wait until after the Resurrection of Christ where in the upper room Jesus appeared to them and then they received the Holy Ghost before they could be sent out into the world to make more disciples of Christ.
An Apostle is one that witnessed Christ an walked with Him as they were hand picked by Christ and taught by Him as the twelve were actual witnesses of Christ in whom He personally taught them. After Christ ascended up to heaven then they began their journeys writing letters to the churches they established wherever they traveled. Hence the true doctrines of Christ. They were disciples that followed Christ, but after they were personally hand picked of Christ it was He that called them Apostles and sent them out to make more disciples, not Apostles.
1Cor 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
First Apostles, being the twelve, or actually 13 including Paul. We who are Christ own are His disciples who follow the teachings of the Apostles of Christ in whom God inspired and gave them what to write. We now take the Gospel message out to the world in that which has already been written.
