Jesus didn't give the commandments to his disciples. God gave the commandments to Moses this is recorded in the Old Testament.
Jesus did tell his disciples that basically there are only two commandments:
1. Love the LORD your God.
2. Love your neighbour as yourself.
Jesus sent out his disciples on a mission during his ministry, as recorded in the Bible in the book of Matthew, chapter 10.
Jesus chose His disciples to form the foundation of the church with Himself as the chief cornerstone.
Jesus chose his disciples after he returned from fasting in the wilderness for 40 days and starting his worldly mission.
In the Gospel of Luke, the act of Jesus breathing on the disciples symbolizes the giving of the Holy Spirit and empowers them for their mission to spread the teachings of Jesus and establish the early Christian church. This act signifies the disciples' commission to carry out their mission with the guidance and strength of the Holy Spirit.
The twelve disciples and all who believe their message. That means you and me if we believe in Jesus.
Jesus did not have a mission at pentecosst. He is - the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revalation 13.8). The 'mission at pentecost', i think refers to the revelation of the Holy Spitit, which Jesus sent as a Comforter to his disciples.

Jesus' disciples
Jesus had a total of 12 disciples, but only 11 were commissioned to go out in the world and make disciples , this was because Judas Iscariot hanged himself.
Jesus chose to rename his disciples as a way to symbolize their new identities and roles as followers of him. This renaming signified a spiritual transformation and a deeper commitment to their faith and mission.
After his resurrection, Jesus left his disciples to ascend to heaven and fulfill his mission to be with God. He promised to send the Holy Spirit to guide and empower them in spreading his teachings to others.
The mission statement of the United Methodist Church (UMC) is "to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world." This reflects the church's commitment to spreading the teachings of Jesus and fostering positive change in society.
