2 Corinthians 10:2 [1] In general usage the word "apostle" (Gr apostolos) means "sent one" or "messenger." In this passage and others in reference to the "twelve," the word "apostles" is used in a technical sense of the twelve disciples, and later Paul, whom Jesus chose. An apostle was one who witnessed Christ's resurrection (ACT 1:21, 22; 1CO 9:1, 2). They validated their apostleship by performing "signs and wonders and miracles" (2CO 12:12), and were the foundation of the church.
