'Disciples' in the Bible

Seeing the multitude of people, Jesus went up the Hill. There He seated Himself, and when His disciples came to Him,

Another of the disciples said to Him, "Sir, allow me first to go and bury my father."

Then He went on board a fishing-boat, and His disciples followed Him.

And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.

The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"

At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?"

And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.

Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;

Then He called to Him His twelve disciples and gave them authority over foul spirits, to drive them out; and to cure every kind of disease and infirmity.

When Jesus had concluded His instructions to His twelve disciples, He left in order to teach and to proclaim His Message in the neighbouring towns.

Now John had heard in prison about the Christ's doings, and he sent some of his disciples to inquire:

About that time Jesus passed on the Sabbath through the wheatfields; and His disciples became hungry, and began to gather ears of wheat and eat them.

But the Pharisees saw it and said to Him, "Look! your disciples are doing what the Law forbids them to do on the Sabbath."

And if it is by Baal-zebul's power that I expel the demons, by whose power do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.

And pointing to His disciples He added, "See here are my mother and my brothers.

(And His disciples came and asked Him, "Why do you speak to them in figurative language?"

When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field."

Then John's disciples went and removed the body and buried it, and came and informed Jesus.

But when evening was come, the disciples came to Him and said, "This is an uninhabited place, and the best of the day is now gone; send the people away to go into the villages and buy something to eat."

and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.

Immediately afterwards He made the disciples go on board the boat and cross to the opposite shore, leaving Him to dismiss the people.

When the disciples saw Him walking on the waves, they were greatly alarmed. "It is a spirit," they exclaimed, and they cried out with terror.

"Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?"

Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?"

But He answered her not a word. Then the disciples interposed, and begged Him, saying, "Send her away because she keeps crying behind us."

But Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, "My heart yearns over this mass of people, for it is now the third day that they have been with me and they have nothing to eat. I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they should faint on the road."

"Where can we," asked the disciples, "get bread enough in this remote place to satisfy so vast a multitude?"

and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people.

When the disciples arrived at the other side of the Lake, they found that they had forgotten to bring any bread;

When He arrived in the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples. "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" He asked.

Then He urged His disciples to tell no one that He was the Christ.

From this time Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer much cruelty from the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If any one desires to follow me, let him renounce self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.

On hearing this voice, the disciples fell on their faces and were filled with terror.

"Why then," asked the disciples, "do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

Then it dawned upon the disciples that it was John the Baptist about whom He had spoken to them.

I have brought him to your disciples, and they have not been able to cure him."

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked Him, "Why could not we expel the demon?"

Just then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who ranks higher than others in the Kingdom of the Heavens?"

"If this is the case with a man in relation to his wife," said the disciples to Him, "it is better not to marry."

Then young children were brought to Him for Him to put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples interfered.

So Jesus said to His disciples, "I solemnly tell you that it is with difficulty that a rich man will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens.

These words utterly amazed the disciples, and they asked, "Who then can be saved?"

Jesus was now going up to Jerusalem, and He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,

When they were come near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of the disciples on in front,

So the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them:

When the disciples saw it they exclaimed in astonishment, "How instantaneously the fig-tree has withered away!"

So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach God's truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by men's wealth or rank.

Then Jesus addressed the crowds and His disciples.

Jesus had left the Temple and was going on His way, when His disciples came and called His attention to the Temple buildings.

Afterwards He was on the Mount of Olives and was seated there when the disciples came to Him, apart from the others, and said, "Tell us when this will be; and what will be the sign of your Coming and of the Close of the Age?"

When Jesus had ended all these discourses, He said to His disciples,

"Why such waste?" indignantly exclaimed the disciples;

On the first day of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus with the question, "Where shall we make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"

"Go into the city," He replied, "to a certain man, and tell him, 'The Teacher says, My time is close at hand. It is at your house that I shall keep the Passover with my disciples.'"

The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and got the Passover ready.

When evening came, He was at table with the twelve disciples,

During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke it. He then gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it: it is my body."

"Even if I must die with you," declared Peter, "I will never disown you." In like manner protested all the disciples.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to the disciples, "Sit down here, whilst I go yonder and there pray."

Then He came to the disciples and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Alas, none of you could keep awake with me for even a single hour!

Then He came to the disciples and said, "Sleep on and rest. See, the moment is close at hand when the Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men.

But all this has taken place in order that the writings of the Prophets may be fulfilled." At this point the disciples all left Him and fled.

So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious than the first."

And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead and is going before you into Galilee: there you shall see Him. Remember, I have told you."

They quickly left the tomb and ran, still terrified but full of unspeakable joy, to carry the news to His disciples.

telling them to say, "His disciples came during the night and stole his body while we were asleep."

As for the eleven disciples, they proceeded into Galilee, to the hill where Jesus had arranged to meet them.

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations; baptize them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

When He was sitting at table in Levi's house, a large number of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners were at table with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many such who habitually followed Him.

But when the Scribes of the Pharisee sect saw Him eating with the sinners and the tax-gatherers, they said to His disciples, "He is eating and drinking with the tax-gatherers and sinners!"

(Now John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were keeping a fast.)

One Sabbath He was walking through the wheatfields when His disciples began to pluck the ears of wheat as they went.

Accordingly Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the Lake, and a vast crowd of people from Galilee followed Him;

So He gave directions to His disciples to keep a small boat in constant attendance on Him because of the throng--to prevent their crushing Him.

But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private.

"You see the multitude pressing you on all sides," His disciples exclaimed, "and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'"

Leaving that place He came into His own country, accompanied by His disciples.

When John's disciples heard of it, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.

By this time it was late; so His disciples came to Him, and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late:

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and lifting His eyes to Heaven He blessed the food. Then He broke the loaves into portions which He went on handing to the disciples to distribute; giving pieces also of the two fish to them all.

Immediately afterwards He made His disciples go on board the boat and cross over to Bethsaida, leaving Him behind to dismiss the crowd.

They had noticed that some of His disciples were eating their food with 'unclean' (that is to say, unwashed)

So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him: "Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean hands?"

After He had left the crowd and gone indoors, His disciples began to ask Him about this figure of speech.

About that time there was again an immense crowd, and they found themselves with nothing to eat. So He called His disciples to Him.

"Where can we possibly get bread here in this remote place to satisfy such a crowd?" answered His disciples.

So He passed the word to the people to sit down on the ground. Then taking the seven loaves He blessed them, and broke them into portions and proceeded to give them to His disciples for them to distribute, and they distributed them to the people.

They had also a few small fish. He blessed them, and He told His disciples to distribute these also.

and at once going on board with His disciples He came into the district of Dalmanutha.

From that place Jesus and His disciples went to the villages belonging to Caesarea Philippi. On the way He began to ask His disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"

But turning round and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Adversary," He said, "for your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's."

Then calling to Him the crowd and also His disciples, He said to them, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.

As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.

and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."

After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, "How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"

for He was teaching His disciples, and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and after being put to death, in three days He will rise to life again."

Indoors the disciples began questioning Jesus again on the same subject.

One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples interfered.

Then looking round on His disciples Jesus said, "With how hard a struggle will the possessors of riches enter the Kingdom of God!"
