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
