Mark 3:13-15 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve — designating them apostles — that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.

Commentary: This scripture gives us Christ's model for discipleship. Discipleship begins with association, grows through invitation and culminates in duplication. Discipleship is to win, build and send.
