OET (OET-RV) In the morning, he called together his followers, and chose twelve of them that he then called missionaries:

/having/_chosen from them twelve
The pronoun them refers to the disciples. Alternate translation: “he chose 12 of those disciples”
οὓς καὶ ἀποστόλους ὠνόμασεν
whom also ambassadors /he/_named
The term apostles comes from a Greek word that originally meant “messengers” or “delegates.” It took on a specialized meaning within the community of Jesus’ followers to mean the 12 men whom Jesus chose to be his authoritative representatives. Many languages have borrowed the Greek word to use in this sense. But if your language has developed its own special term for this role, use it in your translation. Alternate translation: “and he appointed them to be apostles”
6:13 Disciples were students and followers; apostles were specially commissioned representatives.
• The number twelve symbolically represents the twelve tribes of Israel. The apostles represented the restored people of God.
