Why 12 ?
Why not 4 or 11 or 22 ?

Is it just a number or is there a reason that Jesus began with 12 apostles?
 
The 12 Apostles represented the 12 Tribes of Israel. With Israel having been conquered and some tribes of Israel “lost” to history Jesus chose 12 Apostles as symbolic that he was fulfilling the promise of God to reunite all of Israel.
