23  The ^atwelve traveling councilors are called to be the Twelve Apostles, or special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world—thus differing from other officers in the church in the duties of their calling.

  139  Which quorum is instituted for ^atraveling elders to bear record of my name in all the world, wherever the traveling high council, mine apostles, shall send them to prepare a way before my face.

  42  And the time cometh that he shall manifest himself unto all nations, both unto the ^aJews and also unto the Gentiles; and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles, then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews, and the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.

  7  Behold, because of their belief in me, saith the Father, and because of the unbelief of you, O house of Israel, in the latter day shall the truth come unto the ^bGentiles, that the fulness of these things shall be made known unto them.

  6  Behold, the world is ripening in iniquity; and it must needs be that the children of men are stirred up unto repentance, both the ^cGentiles and also the house of Israel.

  27  Which is my word to the ^aGentile, that soon it may go to the Jew, of whom the Lamanites are a remnant, that they may believe the gospel, and look not for a Messiah to come who has already come.

  12  And the first preacher of this church unto the church, and before the world, yea, before the Gentiles; yea, and thus saith the Lord God, lo, lo! to the ^bJews also. Amen.

  9  That through your administration they may receive the word, and through their administration the word may go forth unto the ends of the earth, unto the ^aGentiles first, and then, behold, and lo, they shall turn unto the Jews.

  4  Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face; and thou shalt bear record of my name, not only unto the ^bGentiles, but also unto the Jews; and thou shalt send forth my word unto the ends of the earth.

  26  And now, behold, there are others who are called to declare my gospel, both unto ^bGentile and unto Jew;

  39  It is the duty of the ^aTwelve, in all large branches of the church, to ordain evangelical ministers, as they shall be designated unto them by revelation—

  27  Therefore, see to it that ye trouble not yourselves concerning the affairs of my church ^ain this place, saith the Lord.
