G652 — ἀπόστολος

ἀποστόλου, ὁ;

1. a delegate, messenger, one sent forth with orders (Herodotus 1, 21; 5, 38; for שָׁלוּחַ in 1Ki 14:6 (Alex.); rabbinical שְׁלִיחַ): Joh 13:16 (where ὁ ἀπόστολος and ὁ πέμψας αὐτόν are contrasted); followed by a genitive, as τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν, 2Co 8:23; Phi 2:25; ἀπόστολον... τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν the apostle whom we confess, of Christ, God's chief messenger, who has brought the κλῆσις ἀπουρανιος, as compared with Moses, whom the Jews confess, Heb 3:1.

2. Specially applied to the twelve disciples whom Christ selected, out of the multitude of his adherents, to be his constant companions and the heralds to proclaim to men the kingdom of God: Mat 10:1-4; Luk 6:13; Act 1:26; Rev 21:14, and often, but nowhere in the Gospel and Epistles of John; ("the word ἀπόστολος occurs 79 times in the N. T., and of these 68 instances are in St. Luke and St. Paul." Lightfoot). With these apostles Paul claimed equality, because through a heavenly intervention he had been appointed by the ascended Christ himself to preach the gospel among the Gentiles, and owed his knowledge of the way of salvation not to man's instruction but to direct revelation from Christ himself, and moreover had evinced his apostolic qualifications by many signal proofs: Gal 1:1, Gal 1:11; Gal 2:8; 1Co 1:17; 1Co 9:1; 1Co 15:8-10; 2Co 3:2ff; 12:12; 1Ti 2:7; 2Ti 1:11, cf. Act 26:12-20. According to Paul, apostles surpassed as well the various other orders of Christian teachers (cf. διδάσκαλος, εὐαγγελιστής, προφήτης), as also the rest of those on whom the special gifts (cf. χάρισμα) of the Holy Spirit had been bestowed, by receiving a richer and more copious conferment of the Spirit: 1Co 12:28; Eph 4:11. Certain false teachers are rated sharply for arrogating to themselves the name and authority of apostles of Christ: 2Co 11:5, 2Co 11:13; Rev 2:2.

3. In a broader sense the name is transferred to other eminent Christian teachers; as Barnabas, Act 14:14, and perhaps also Timothy and Silvanus, 1Th 2:7 (6), cf. too Rom 16:7 (?). But in Luk 11:49; Eph 3:5; Rev 18:20, 'apostles' is to be taken in the narrower sense. (On the application of the term see especially Lightfoot on Galatians, pp. 92-101; Harnack, on 'Teaching etc. 11, 3 [ET]; cf. BB. DD. under the word)

(a) with special ref. to the Twelve: Mat 10:2, Mar 3:14, Luk 11:49, Eph 3:5, Rev 18:20, al. , equality with whom is claimed by St. Paul, Gal 1:1; Gal 1:11 ff , 1Ti 2:7, a1.;

Br., ii, 196 ff .)

字義溯源：使徒，作使徒的，使者，差人；源自（G649（ἀποστέλλω / ἐμπέμπω）=打發）；由（G575（ἀπό / ἀπαρτί / ἀποπέμπω）*=從，出，離）與（G4724（στέλλω）*=阻止，指使）組成。使徒這字的字義：受差遣者，是經由主的差遣，授權的使者，為著去設立新的工作，或基督徒的交通。使徒的由來：主耶穌自己是父神差遣的使徒（約16:17；來3:1）；他也叫他的門徒來，就從他們中間挑選十二個人，稱他們為使徒（路6:13）。使徒的使命：所以你們要去，使萬民作我的門徒，奉父，子，聖靈的名給他們施洗（太28:19；可16:15；路24:47）。主復活後，又再重申並加強他們的使命（徒1:8）。使徒與教會的關係：教會乃是建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶穌自己為房角石（弗2:20）。使徒工作的兩面：首先，他們見證彌賽亞預言，應驗在主耶穌基督的生活，死亡和復活上。其次，他們解釋救恩全部的過程；他們不僅見證耶穌死在十字架上（約19:35），也傳揚主耶穌的死乃是為著我們的罪（林前15:3），他復活乃為叫我們稱義（羅4:25）。保羅為外邦人的使徒，乃是由耶穌基督啓示來的（加1:12）。他也是使徒時代末了的一個大使徒。參讀G32（ἄγγελος）同義字參讀G649（ἀποστέλλω / ἐμπέμπω）同源字
