Observations on the Calling of the 12

It began with an all night prayer vigil (Lk 6.12)

They were chosen and sent (Mt 10.1-2, Mk 3.13-14, Lk 6.12-13)

They were sent with out resources and earned a living from the gospel (Mt 10.8-10)

They were told they would be severely persecuted and that didn’t happen until after the resurrection which presumes that this was a permanent calling not temporary (Mt 10.16-25)

Peter makes mention that they had left everything (Mk 10.28-31, Lk 18.28-30)

This was certainly a vocational calling and it was logical not mystical
