The Mustering of the Apostles

June 27, 2020 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

With the calling of these disciples, Christ is building His army. Later in the Gospels, we will see Jesus’ disciples doing what He does in the very next passage after this one—casting out demons, calling people to repentance. And this is not only His army but also His government.
