“And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles:”
When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles — the morning follows the night of prayer: the twelve are appointed after the sustained communion with the Father. He called his disciples and chose twelve: the choice is from the larger circle of disciples — twelve out of many. Designated apostles (apostolous, sent ones): the appointment establishes the function — these twelve are specifically constituted as sent-out representatives.
