Contextual Overview

¹² At that time Jesus went off to a mountain to pray, and he spent the night praying to God. ¹³ The next morning, Jesus called his followers to him and chose twelve of them, whom he named apostles: ¹⁴ Simon (Jesus named him Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon (called the Zealot), ¹⁶ Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who later turned Jesus over to his enemies. ¹⁷ Jesus and the apostles came down from the mountain, and he stood on level ground. A large group of his followers was there, as well as many people from all around Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast cities of Tyre and Sidon. ¹⁸ They all came to hear Jesus teach and to be healed of their sicknesses, and he healed those who were troubled by evil spirits. ¹⁹ All the people were trying to touch Jesus, because power was coming from him and healing them all.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when it was day,.... Or morning; having spent the whole night in prayer to God, no doubt for his disciples, whom he was about to send forth as his apostles, to preach his Gospel, and work miracles, and for their success therein:

he called unto him his disciples; the whole company of them, as in Luke 6:17 all that were his followers, and professed to believe in him, or as many as he pleased; see Mark 3:13.

And of them he chose twelve; and ordained them, and sent them out to preach, heal sicknesses, and cast out devils:

whom he also named apostles; or "messengers", from their being sent by him on such important business; and their names are as follow.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 10:1-4.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 6:13. He chose twelve — εκλεξαμενος απ αυτων, He chose twelve OUT of them. Our Lord at this time had several disciples, persons who were converted to God under his ministry; and, out of these converts, he chose twelve, whom he appointed to the work of the ministry; and called them apostles, i.e. persons sent or commissioned by himself, to preach that Gospel to others by which they had themselves been saved. These were favoured with extraordinary success:

1. Because they were brought to the knowledge of God themselves.

2. Because they received their commission from the great Head of the Church. And

3. Because, as he had sent them, he continued to accompany their preaching with the power of his Spirit.

These three things always unite in the character of a genuine apostle. See on Matthew 10:1-4.
