Baha'u'llah doesn't say so. does Baha'u'llah preclude these guys working from notes (the so-called Q doc)? nope. is one of them a block head who is illiterate and coulda had his running buddy mark write doewn some struff? hmmmm. simon...called the stone. here is another look at the "12" http://www.bibletexts.com/glossary/thetwelve.htm which, of course, leaves out the first one to Get the Point--- the magdalene.
