When and where were the twelve disciples commissioned by Jesus?

All twelve original disciples were chosen and commissioned while Jesus was in His earthly ministry, within the borders of then-known Palestine, or Israel. Not one was chosen from Gentile territory. Their commissioning occurred during that specific period and geographical setting.

Les explains that as Saul made his way toward Damascus, the point arose that all twelve of the original disciples were chosen within the borders of then-known Palestine. Not a single one was chosen from Gentile territory. They were all commissioned while Jesus was in His earthly ministry within the borders of Israel. This stands in contrast to Saul, who becomes Paul and is sent primarily to the Gentiles, making his calling unique in more than one way.
