It encompasses the authority and responsibility given to those who are sent out to preach the gospel and establish churches. In the New Testament, it is often associated with the commissioning of the apostles by Jesus Christ to spread His teachings and establish the early church.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being sent with authority was well understood. An apostle was akin to an ambassador, carrying the authority of the one who sent them. In the Jewish context, the idea of being sent by God was significant, as prophets and messengers were often seen as representatives of divine will. The early Christian use of "apostolé" emphasized the divine commissioning of the apostles by Jesus, highlighting their role in the foundational period of the church.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/649.htm">apostelló</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a sending away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>apostleship (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 651: ἀποστολή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποστολή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀποστολῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀποστέλλω</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">a sending away</span>: <span class="greek2">Τιμολεοντος</span> <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">Σικελιαν</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, Timol. 1, etc.; of the sending off of a fleet, <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> 8, 9; also of consuls with an army, i. e. of an expedition, <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 26, 7, 1. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">a sending away i. e. dismission,</span> release: the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/8-8.htm">Ecclesiastes 8:8</a>. <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> <span class="accented">a thing sent,</span> esp of gifts: <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/9-16.htm">1 Kings 9:16</a> (<span class="manuref">Alex.</span>); 1 Macc. 2:18 etc. cf.
