LESSON 4
A Special Witness
"The Twelve traveling counselors are called to be the Twelve Apostles, or special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world."
A Night of Prayer.
Probably several months after the events narrated in the previous chapter and a little while before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus went out to a mountain near Capernaum. As was usual, now, in His life, a large crowd followed Him. But He left the crowd, and went to the top of the mountain, so he could be all alone with His Father in Heaven, unto whom He prayed all night.
Twelve Chosen.
Undoubtedly, many of his most ardent followers remained at the mountain also all night, for "When it was day, He called unto Him His disciples, and of them He chose twelve, whom also He named apostles."[[1]]
