Matthew 10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first,
Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and
Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose
surname was Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who
also betrayed him.5 These twelve Yehoshuha sent......

Luke 6:13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of
THEM he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; 14 Simon, (whom he
also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and
Bartholomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
called Zelotes,16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot,
which also was the traitor. 
 
John 20:21 Then said Yehoshuha to them again, Peace be unto you: as my
Father hath sent ME,(a man) even so send I YOU.(all men)

Is there a simple answer about the quote infuring that it means a female
Apostle. Of course!!!!    

Here is a list of scriptures that show in each case a prophetess was
either married to a prophet or the sister of one as in the cae of Aaron
and Moses. In the case of Anna the daughter of one. This same principal
holds true for any of the other offices of Apostle, prophet, evangelist,
Pastor, teacher. 

Exodus 15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the SISTER of Aaron,....
Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, THE WIFE of Lapidoth,.......
2 Kings 22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and
Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, THE WIFE of
Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the
wardrobe;.....
Isiah 8:3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a
son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
( Isiah's WIFE)
Luke 2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the DAUGHTER of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an
husband seven years from her virginity;.......

The one who called herself a prophetess was Jezebel #2403 (used as a
synonym of a termagant or false teacher) see #348 the wife of king
Ahab.  
 
Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,
because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which CALLETH HERSELF A
PROPHETESS, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication,
and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 

Like wise  in the scrpiture being sited as proof of women apostles the
same principal holds. Romans 16 is a chapter where Paul send greeting to
a lot of people among which are the wives of some of the men who worked
with Paul in his ministery. Keep, in mind that Paul wrote in 1 Timothy
5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour,
especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. It does not appear
by the list in Romans 16 that Paul stays with the scripture in honnoring
this husband and wife team. Andronicus, which maens "Man of victory,
#408 in strongs, and Junia #2458 a woman. Hello anybody out there?
Shalom!
