Who were the Apostles, and what did they do?

A short, but helpful resource on this matter is given freely here - Word Pictures Of The Twelve Apostles, & Select Disciples Along With A Brief Apocryphal Martyrology by Aaron Earnest : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Who were the Apostles, and what did they do?
What does the word "disciple" mean?
What does the word "apostle" mean?
Was Jesus also an Apostle, and if so, of whom?
How did the Apostles become chosen?
Is there a succession of Apostleship in scripture?
Who was Paul?
Who was Barnabas?
How did they become Apostles? From whom did they receive such an office / position?
Does God choose whomsoever He wills, and giveth to them of the gift / office, or do men decide?
Who was Mary, the mother of Jesus?
Is Mary, ever called in scripture, "the mother of God" (some label as 'theotokos', or is she rather the 'theoNOTokos')? and if not, why do some people call her that?
Did Mary remain an 'ever-virgin', or (speaking respectfully and cautiously) did she ever consummate the marriage to Joseph? - Did The Mary Of Scripture Remain An Ever Virgin (Perpetual Virgin) As Romanism Says - NO : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
Was Mary ever 'assumed up' into Heaven as some claim, and where did these claims come from, from scripture, or from somewhere else? is Mary dead (buried) or alive (in Heaven) right now? - Is The Virgin Mary Dead Or Alive, Assumed In Heaven Or Buried In The Ground Awaiting Her Resurrection At The Second Coming Of Jesus : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
What happened to Mary post-Calvary, post-Pentecost?
Who were the other Mary's?

As always, please feel free to comment, ask questions, participate in discussion, engage in prayerful bible study together! Take the time to follow scriptural counsel and read the material before entering into conversation, Pro. 18:13,17, and come to listen to what is being presented, as in Job, before speaking. There is no need to rush into anything when discussing such weighty matters. Better to ask clarifying questions, and listen to one another, and then go to the Bible together.

I will be glad to discuss these things with any others who would like to do so.
