Nelson Estrada examines the apostles' transformation of status from
followers to leaders in Acts 1-2. He challenges the common view
that Acts 1:12-14 is the preparation for the coming of the Spirit
in Acts 2, and that the sole purpose of Acts 1:15-26 is to set the
number of the aposties at twelve-in line with Jesus' prophecy in
Luke 22:30. Instead, Estrada reads Acts 1:12-14 and 1:15-26 as
primarily propagandistic in nature. He argues that these pericopes
promote the leadership integrity of the apostles by attempting to
win the support of the women disciples and Jesus' family and then,
through Judas' excommunication, extirpation, and replacement, to
win that of the 120 disciples.
