How long did the disciples preach?
#1 ...when Jesus sent the 12 out in Matt 10
#2 ...when Jesus sent the 70/72 out?
He sent these out with special instructions...
How long was their mission--from start to finish--when the disciples went about announcing the Messiah?
How long before Jesus death did He send them out?
How many years - or months - or days?

I suppose if they were doing their jobs, they incurred the wrath of the religious and political organizations of the day and preached the rest of their martyred lives.

A very difficult question to answer; however if they remained faithful to the cause, an educated guess would be that the preached until they were forced to stop by death or some other cause. I don't believe this information is recorded anywhere for each and every one of them.

I'd say a couple of hours. Then they probably had a bar-b-que buffet with sweet corn, garlic salad, and home-made desserts.

Once someone invented kettle corn, this treat immediately disappeared from agape potlucks. |

I think they did not preach. They went to announce that the messiah had come and would come in person soon. |

The announcement probably took a few weeks to travel about Israel at that time. Six pairs of men walking to....how many places? Maye every city and maybe some villages? Perhaps they went to the synagogues. The 70? Who knows? Some say Mark, Matthew, and Luke were about a year in time from his first appearance (he has come) to his death. One fellow mentioned that those three gospels could have beeen written for a one year teaching (there is some other word...liturgy?) in the church. First there is the birth narrative and last there is the death narrative with various teachings in between. Some say John's gospel is a three year experience with Jesus. |

I think what we do know is that whatever the ministry was back in the first century, it does not really resemble the suitcase wielding workers of today. The workers have created a denomination that has some good and bad people in it, just like any other denomination.

And how long was it--from start to finish--that the disciples announced the Messiah? about 3 to 3 and a half years! It is difficult to nail it down but it appears that the disciples was with Jesus a little while before He sent them out on their own....and I believe it's been said His ministerial lifespan was about 3 and half years.How long before Jesus death did He send them out? Again it would have been under 3 and half years.How many years - or months - or days?
About 3 and half years. |

All but 2 Apostles died as martyrs, Peter having lived to be quite aged but still martyred. John lived through to old age and died a natural death and of course Judas Iscariot committed suicide. Judas' time as an Apostle was the shortest termed one of course.

As far as the 70/72 are concerned, I suspect their mission was short-lived because they were to go ahead of him to the places he was intending to visit. That means a minimum of 35 or 36 pairs visited places where one man was also to visit on foot. I doubt the pairs would have remained long in any one place announcing the coming Messiah and it is unlikely they visited more than one locality per pair. The fact they were to visit places Jesus intended to visit himself on foot or even by donkey considerably reduces their time and duration through logistical considerations. |

One would actually wonder why Jesus would feel a need for more then the 12, although having anointed them with healing powers, He well knew that they'd be waylaid healing folks and casting out evil spirits....seems perhaps their message that the kingdom of heaven had come was mixed with their physician and psychologial gifts. Perhaps that slowing down of the 12 for that reason gave the need for the other 70 to be sent out. |

Which year of Jesus 3.5 years of public ministry did He select the 12?
1st year? 2nd year? 3rd year?

Speculation has that the 70 could represent the number of nations mentioned elsewhere in the bible. |

Does the Bible record any of the 70/72 continuing to preach after Jesus left the earth?

Which year of Jesus 3.5 years of public ministry did He select the 12? 1st year? 2nd year? 3rd year? FWIW - from a Russian Orthodox site ... Jesus began His public ministry in Galilee by selecting 12 Apostles. His miracle at the marriage ceremony at Cana, in Galilee, strengthened the faith of His disciples. After spending some time in Capernaum, Jesus Christ set out for Jerusalem for Passover. There, for the first time, He aroused against Himself animosity of the Judaic chieftains, especially of the Pharisees, by driving away merchants from the temple. After Passover, Jesus Christ called His Apostles, gave them the necessary instructions, and sent them to preach the coming of God's Kingdom. He also traveled throughout the Holy Land, preaching, gathering discilples, and spreading the word about the Kingdom of God.
