How to Read the Acts of the Apostles – St. Paul Center

Apostles: The majority of the time the word APOSTLES appears in the Scriptures, it refers to the 12 Apostles:

Matthew 10:2; Mark 6:30; Luke 6:13 9:10 17:5 22:14 24:10; (not in John) Acts 1:2,26 2:37,42,43 4:35,36,37 5:2,12,18,29,34,40 6:6 8:1,14,18 9:27,11:1 14:4,14 15:2,4,6,22,23,33 16:4; I Corinthians 4:9 9:5,12:28,29 15:7-9; II Corinthians 11:5 12:11; Galatians 1:17,19; Ephesians 2:20 3:5 4:11; I Thessalonians 2:6 Jude 1:17; Revelation 2:2 18:20 21:14; (Revelation 21:14 is the Last reference to 12 Apostles)

Now a text that appears to address others (other than the original twelve, Matthias (the ELECTED not SELECTED), and Paul (the Chosen) as APOSTLES.

Romans 16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. 

Does this mean Andronicus and Junias were Apostles or apostles?
