description The concept of apostle before Paul and during his times was broad enough to embrace three groups of people - the Jerusalem appearance apostles, wandering Hellenistic missionaries commissioned by the Holy Spirit and representatives of congregation. Influenced by the Jewish legal institution of "messenger", Jesus sent out his disciples for a temporary and nationally limited pre-resurrection mission.

Paul, starting as a wandering missionary apostle, grounded his apostolate in the Christ event and thus marked the trajectory of apostle concept development that ultimately ended as a restrictive category for the Twelve only.
