'Disciples' in the Bible

Bind up the testimony.Seal up the instruction among my disciples.

When He saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain, and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

“Lord,” another of His disciples said, “first let me go bury my father.”

As He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

So the disciples came and woke Him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to die!”

While He was reclining at the table in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came as guests to eat with Jesus and His disciples.

When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Then John’s disciples came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

So Jesus and His disciples got up and followed him.

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few.

Summoning His 12 disciples, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out and to heal every disease and sickness.

When Jesus had finished giving orders to His 12 disciples, He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.

When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent a message by his disciples

At that time Jesus passed through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick and eat some heads of grain.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”

And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

Then the disciples came up and asked Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

Then He dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples approached Him and said, “Explain the parable of the weeds in the field to us.”

Then his disciples came, removed the corpse, buried it, and went and reported to Jesus.

When evening came, the disciples approached Him and said, “This place is a wilderness, and it is already late. Send the crowds away so they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”

Then He commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat!”

Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?”

Yet He did not say a word to her. So His disciples approached Him and urged Him, “Send her away because she cries out after us.”

Now Jesus summoned His disciples and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry; otherwise they might collapse on the way.”

The disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in this desolate place to fill such a crowd?”

He took the seven loaves and the fish, and He gave thanks, broke them, and kept on giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

The disciples reached the other shore, and they had forgotten to take bread.

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

And He gave the disciples orders to tell no one that He was the Messiah.

From then on Jesus began to point out to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

When the disciples heard it, they fell facedown and were terrified.

So the disciples questioned Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist.

I brought him to Your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him.”

Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

His disciples said to Him, “If the relationship of a man with his wife is like this, it’s better not to marry!”

Then children were brought to Him so He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “I assure you: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!

When the disciples heard this, they were utterly astonished and asked, “Then who can be saved?”

While going up to Jerusalem, Jesus took the 12 disciples aside privately and said to them on the way:

When the 10 disciples heard this, they became indignant with the two brothers.

When they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus then sent two disciples,

The disciples went and did just as Jesus directed them.

When the disciples saw it, they were amazed and said, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

They sent their disciples to Him, with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality.

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:

As Jesus left and was going out of the temple complex, His disciples came up and called His attention to the temple buildings.

While He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached Him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what is the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

When Jesus had finished saying all this, He told His disciples,

When the disciples saw it, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked.

On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare the Passover so You may eat it?”

“Go into the city to a certain man,” He said, “and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time is near; I am celebrating the Passover at your place with My disciples.’”

So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat it; this is My body.”

“Even if I have to die with You,” Peter told Him, “I will never deny You!” And all the disciples said the same thing.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He asked Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with Me one hour?

Then He came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the time is near. The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

But all this has happened so that the prophetic Scriptures would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and ran away.

Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come, steal Him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ Then the last deception will be worse than the first.”

Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead. In fact, He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there.’ Listen, I have told you.”

So, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell His disciples the news.

and told them, “Say this, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole Him while we were sleeping.’

The 11 disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

While He was reclining at the table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were also guests with Jesus and His disciples, because there were many who were following Him.

When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. People came and asked Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”

On the Sabbath He was going through the grainfields, and His disciples began to make their way picking some heads of grain.

Jesus departed with His disciples to the sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee, Judea,

Then He told His disciples to have a small boat ready for Him, so the crowd would not crush Him.

And He did not speak to them without a parable. Privately, however, He would explain everything to His own disciples.

His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

He went away from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples followed Him.

When his disciples heard about it, they came and removed his corpse and placed it in a tomb.

When it was already late, His disciples approached Him and said, “This place is a wilderness, and it is already late!

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves. He kept giving them to His disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

They observed that some of His disciples were eating their bread with unclean—that is, unwashed—hands.

Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, “Why don’t Your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders, instead of eating bread with ritually unclean hands?”

When He went into the house away from the crowd, the disciples asked Him about the parable.

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat. He summoned the disciples and said to them,

His disciples answered Him, “Where can anyone get enough bread here in this desolate place to fill these people?”

Then He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks, broke the loaves, and kept on giving them to His disciples to set before the people. So they served the loaves to the crowd.

and immediately got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

Jesus went out with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”

But turning around and looking at His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan, because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s!”

Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes disputing with them.

Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t.”

After He went into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after He is killed, He will rise three days later.”

Now in the house the disciples questioned Him again about this matter.

Some people were bringing little children to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked them.

Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!”
