Jesus chose 12 as apostles. This is recorded in
Luke 9:1-6 and
Matthew 10:1-2. Later (10 months later?) He chose 70 others and sent them out. The choosing of the 70 and their sending out is recorded in
Luke 10:1. It says He sent (Greek word apostello, Stong's no. 649) them. Some consider the 70 to be apostles also. If I remember correctly, some Orthodox teachers say that Barnabas (companion of Paul on his first missionary trip and called apostle in
Acts 14:14) was an apostle based on being one of those 70 in
Luke 10:1.
