	::"He chose Twelve": the identification of this group as the Twelve is a part of early Christian tradition (see 1 Cor 15:5), and in Matthew and Luke, the Twelve are associated with the twelve tribes of Israel (Lk 22:~~29â€“30~~; Mt 19:28). After the fall of Judas from his position among the Twelve, the need is felt on the part of the early community to reconstitute this group before the Christian mission begins at Pentecost (Acts 1:15-26). From Luke's perspective, they are an important group who because of their association with Jesus from the time of his baptism to his ascension (Acts 1:21-22) provide the continuity between the historical Jesus and the church of Luke's day and who as the original eyewitnesses guarantee the fidelity of the church's beliefs and practices to the teachings of Jesus (Lk 1:1-4). "Whom he also named apostles": only Luke among the gospel writers attributes to Jesus the bestowal of the name apostles upon the Twelve. See note on [http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/mt/10#48010002-1 Mt 10:2-4.] "Apostle" becomes a technical term in early Christianity for a missionary sent out to preach the word of God. Although Luke seems to want to restrict the title to the Twelve (only in Acts 4:4,14 are Paul and Barnabas termed apostles), other places in the New Testament show an awareness that the term was more widely applied (1 Cor 15:5-7; Gal 1:19; 1 Cor 1:1; 9:1; Rom 16:7).		::"He chose Twelve": the identification of this group as the Twelve is a part of early Christian tradition (see 1 Cor 15:5), and in Matthew and Luke, the Twelve are associated with the twelve tribes of Israel (Lk 22:29-30; Mt 19:28).

	John's gospel, Last Supper: Jesus says that the apostles are clean and do not need to take a bath (or be Baptized?); they only need to have their feet washed. Either He baptized them, which seems doubtful, or the relationship that He had with them cleansed them. That ''seems'' more likely to me. But I do not place a lot of weight on my own opinion, such as it is.

	It is interesting that the prayer promotes Paul to the first rank. He was not one of "the Twelve," and he was converted to Christianity several years after Jesus ascended into Heaven.
