The apostles
The term "apostles" comes from the Greek word "apostolos," meaning "one who is sent out." In the context of the New Testament, it refers to the twelve disciples whom Jesus chose and sent out to preach the Gospel and perform miracles. This highlights their role as messengers and representatives of Christ, entrusted with His authority to spread His teachings. Historically, the apostles were foundational to the early Church, serving as primary witnesses to Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.

gathered around Jesus
The phrase "gathered around" suggests a close, intimate setting where the apostles come together in unity and fellowship with Jesus. This gathering signifies a moment of communion and reflection, emphasizing the importance of returning to Christ after their mission. It reflects the practice of early Christian communities, who would gather for worship, teaching, and mutual support, drawing strength and guidance from their relationship with Jesus.

and reported to Him
The act of reporting indicates accountability and communication. The apostles are not acting independently but are responsible to Jesus for their actions and teachings. This underscores the principle of stewardship in Christian ministry, where believers are called to faithfully carry out their mission and then return to God to share their experiences, seeking His wisdom and guidance for future endeavors.

all they had done and taught
This phrase encompasses both actions ("done") and teachings ("taught"), highlighting the dual nature of the apostles' mission. Their work involved not only proclaiming the message of the Kingdom but also demonstrating it through acts of compassion and power. This reflects the holistic nature of Christian ministry, which involves both word and deed, and serves as a model for believers to live out their faith in practical and impactful ways. The historical context of this mission, occurring in a time of great expectation and turmoil in Judea, underscores the transformative power of the Gospel message they carried.

(30) And the apostles gathered themselves together.--The return of the Twelve from their first mission is mentioned by St. Luke (Luke 9:10), but not by St. Matthew in this connection.

Verse 30. - The narrative, which had been interrupted by this parenthesis relating to John the Baptist, is now taken up again. The apostles. This is the only place where St. Mark calls them apostles. In the parallel passage, St. Luke (Luke 9:10) says that they told him all that they had done. St. Mark adds, with more detail, and whatsoever (ὅσα) they had taught. They gave him a full account of their mission.
