What? Why so many Apostles?
An Apostle, by biblical definition and among other things, is an eyewitness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There were more than 12 Apostles mentioned in the bible but the ones that you are referring to are the 12 that Jesus personally commissioned at the start of His ministry. There is one small change though... Judas was lost and that reduced the number of the orignal Apostles to 11. However, as I believe, the Apostle Paul, who was also personally commissioned by Jesus on the road to Damascus, will be the final Apostle of the original 12.
