Jesus called 12 apostles to serve him.
the 12 apostles are the followers of Jesus
There were 12 of them.
Jesus had 12 Apostles. One of his Apostles was James. Many contemporaries refer to James as "the brother of the Lord." Perhaps James was Jesus's brother.
They were responsible for spreading the word he gave them. While here on Earth Jesus told the apostles "What I tell you in secret shout from the rooftops." After Jesus left he sent the Holy Spirit who gave the apostles the gift of tongues so that when they relayed God's word to people the people would understand no matter what language they spoke.
