'Disciples' in the Bible

But the disciples were astonished at His words. Again Jesus said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

When the other 10 disciples heard this, they began to be indignant with James and John.

They came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

When they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples

He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples heard it.

Summoning His disciples, He said to them, “I assure you: This poor widow has put in more than all those giving to the temple treasury.

As He was going out of the temple complex, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings!”

On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrifice the Passover lamb, His disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare the Passover so You may eat it?”

So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him.

Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room for Me to eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there just as He told you.’”

But the Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to His disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples fast often and say prayers, and those of the Pharisees do the same, but Yours eat and drink.”

On a Sabbath, He passed through the grainfields. His disciples were picking heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

When daylight came, He summoned His disciples, and He chose 12 of them—He also named them apostles:

After coming down with them, He stood on a level place with a large crowd of His disciples and a great number of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

Then looking up at His disciples, He said:You who are poor are blessed,because the kingdom of God is yours.

Soon afterward He was on His way to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were traveling with Him.

Then John’s disciples told him about all these things. So John summoned two of his disciples

Then His disciples asked Him, “What does this parable mean?”

One day He and His disciples got into a boat, and He told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,

(For about 5,000 men were there.)Then He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about 50 each.”

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them. He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

While He was praying in private and His disciples were with Him, He asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”

I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t.”

And they were all astonished at the greatness of God.While everyone was amazed at all the things He was doing, He told His disciples,

When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”

Then turning to His disciples He said privately, “The eyes that see the things you see are blessed!

He was praying in a certain place, and when He finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”

In these circumstances, a crowd of many thousands came together, so that they were trampling on one another. He began to say to His disciples first: “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Then He said to His disciples: “Therefore I tell you, don’t worry about your life, what you will eat; or about the body, what you will wear.

He also said to the disciples: “There was a rich man who received an accusation that his manager was squandering his possessions.

He said to His disciples, “Offenses will certainly come, but woe to the one they come through!

Then He told the disciples: “The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t see it.

Some people were even bringing infants to Him so He might touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

As He approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of the disciples

Now He came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

While all the people were listening, He said to His disciples,

Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

He went out and made His way as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief.

Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples.

The two disciples heard him say this and followed Jesus.

Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding as well.

Jesus performed this first sign in Cana of Galilee. He displayed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

After this, He went down to Capernaum, together with His mother, His brothers, and His disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.

And His disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal for Your house will consume Me.

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. And they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

After this, Jesus and His disciples went to the Judean countryside, where He spent time with them and baptized.

Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a Jew about purification.

When Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard He was making and baptizing more disciples than John

(though Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),

for His disciples had gone into town to buy food.

Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

In the meantime the disciples kept urging Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”

So Jesus went up a mountain and sat down there with His disciples.

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

When they were full, He told His disciples, “Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.”

When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

Therefore, when many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This teaching is hard! Who can accept it?”

Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were complaining about this, asked them, “Does this offend you?

From that moment many of His disciples turned back and no longer accompanied Him.

so His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea so Your disciples can see Your works that You are doing.

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples.

His disciples questioned Him: “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

“I already told you,” he said, “and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples too, do you?”

They ridiculed him: “You’re that man’s disciple, but we’re Moses’ disciples.

Then after that, He said to the disciples, “Let’s go to Judea again.”

“Rabbi,” the disciples told Him, “just now the Jews tried to stone You, and You’re going there again?”

Then the disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.”

Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews but departed from there to the countryside near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim. And He stayed there with the disciples.

Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was about to betray Him), said,

His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

Next, He poured water into a basin and began to wash His disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around Him.

The disciples started looking at one another—uncertain which one He was speaking about.

One of His disciples, the one Jesus loved, was reclining close beside Jesus.

By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be My disciples.

Therefore some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this He tells us: ‘A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?”

“Ah!” His disciples said. “Now You’re speaking plainly and not using any figurative language.

After Jesus had said these things, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and He and His disciples went into it.

Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with His disciples.

Then the slave girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?”“I am not!” he said.

The high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching.

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, “You aren’t one of His disciples too, are you?”He denied it and said, “I am not!”

Then the disciples went home again.

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.

In the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”

Having said this, He showed them His hands and His side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

So the other disciples kept telling him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in His hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe!”

After eight days His disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them. He said, “Peace to you!”

Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book.

After this, Jesus revealed Himself again to His disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed Himself in this way:

Simon Peter, Thomas (called “Twin”), Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two others of His disciples were together.
