“Apostle” was the title Jesus gave to the Twelve whom He chose to be His closest disciples. Apostles are special witnesses of Jesus Christ. Anciently, Jesus Christ called and sent His Apostles forth to represent Him. Today’s Apostles are also called to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. The Quorum of the Twelve Apostles is the second-highest leadership body of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the First Presidency being the highest).
