Although the Gospel writers tell us that women accompanied Jesus (Matthew 27:55, Mark 15:40, Luke 8:3) none appears to have been chosen as an apostle. To choose a woman as a disciple would have been shocking to the people of the time; yet, Jesus did other things which scandalised people (associated with sinners, touched lepers, praised pagans) so why He didn't select some women as apostles remains a mystery. However, the Gospels do place women in important places e.g. at the foot of the Cross when all but young John have fled. It is also women who are first to witness the empty tomb - and who see the risen Christ before anyone else in Matthew 28:9, Mark 16:9, John 20:11ff.

What gospel reference that tells how the Apostles were chosen?
Matthew 9:35- 10:4 shows who Jesus' twelve apostles were by name and it shows what commission was set out for these men. Jesus at this time was on a preaching campaign where he cured a woman and raised a little girl from the dead. His disciples were followers with him and witnesses of his power. The end of chapter 9 shows Jesus' desire for a broader teaching campaign, saying there Needed to be " more workers" or more disciples to preach Gods word. So it was after this that he appointed these 12 disciples to become apostles. These men were granted power to expel unclean spirits and power to cure sicknesses. In this way, witnesses of these acts could draw faith in Gods holy spirit and become believers the same way these 12 apostles became believers by witnessing Jesus' power to do such things, such power coming from God. Although men today do not perform such things, true followers of Jesus are granted Gods holy spirit to continue the preaching and teaching campaign that Jesus initiated.
