Excerpt from Church Organization and Work And spake unto them, saying, and so on. With the eleven, and there were added unto them, added unto whom? Why, unto the eleven disciples. Who constituted these eleven disciples an assembly to which these converts were added'7 Now, if we turn to Luke 6 12 we read: And it came to pass in these days that He went out into the mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God, and when it was day He called His disciples, and He chose from them twelve, whom also He named apostles. Then follow the names of these men. In the seventeenth verse of the same chapter we read: And He came down with them (the twelve), and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of His disciples. Here Jesus stands with the twelve He has chosen them from a multitude of His disciples, and from that day it is Jesus and the twelve. He joined these men together in a special rela tion to each other which did not exist among the other disciples. They were an organization, they had a common treasury, and a common treasurer. It is true they were apostles, but they were disciples also. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
