is scripturally applied to the apostles choosing elders for the disciples, as in
Acts 14:23
23
And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. (Acts 14:23)
. Titus was also sent to establish them in the assemblies, being sent for the purpose by Paul (
Titus 1:5
5
For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: (Titus 1:5)
). In
Acts 1:22
22
Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. (Acts 1:22)
, this word is only put in, the true force being, “must one
be,
or
become.”
In
Mark 3:14
14
And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, (Mark 3:14)
