[Diego1618]

They were not instructed by God to do this Beg pardon? Why did they bother, then?

If they would have waited....they still would have got Paul.

These are the verses in the Psalms that Peter speaks of in verse 20 of Acts 1. Psalm 69:25 and Psalm 109:8

[RobbyS]

There were more than 12 apostles--or 13. You forget Apollos, about whom Paul says nice things but about whom we know almost nothing else.
