Apostles ({{Greek|απόστολος}} ''apóstolos''; {{HeS|שליח}} ''sheliach'' "messenger") are in the broadest sense the disciples of [[Jesus Christ]] who were directly commissioned by him as "messengers". For example, in the [[Gospel of Luke]] - and only there - '''seventy-two disciples''' are mentioned ({{B|Luke|10:1-24}}). The Latin Church usually calls them "disciples", while the Orthodox Church calls them "apostles". The inner circle of Christ's disciples were the '''Twelve Apostles''', in short the '''Twelve''' (cf. {{B|Mark|6:7-13}}).
