'Disciples' in the Bible

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?"

He answered them, "I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples, too, do you?"

At this, they turned on him in fury and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!

After this, he told the disciples, "Let's go back to Judea."

The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there again?"

So the disciples told him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well."

As a result, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews. Instead, he went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness. There he remained with his disciples.

But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was going to betray him, asked,

At first, his disciples didn't understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people had done these things to him.

Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel that was tied around his waist.

The disciples began looking at one another, completely mystified about whom he was speaking.

One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus kept loving, had been sitting very close to him.

This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

This is how my Father is glorified, when you produce a lot of fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

At this point, some of his disciples asked each other, "What does he mean by telling us, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again,' and, "because I am going to the Father'?"

Jesus' disciples said, "Well, now you're speaking plainly and not using figurative language.

After Jesus had said all of this, he went with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

The young woman at the gate asked Peter, "You aren't one of this man's disciples, too, are you?" "I am not," he replied.

Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his own teaching.

Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Some people asked him, "You aren't one of his disciples, too, are you?" He denied it by saying, "I am not!"

So the disciples went back to their homes.

So Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I've seen the Lord!" She also told them what he had told her.

It was the evening of the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came and stood among them. He told them, "Peace be with you."

After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side, and when they saw the Lord, the disciples were overjoyed.

So the other disciples kept telling him, "We've seen the Lord!" But he told them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my finger into them, and put my hand into his side, I'll never believe!"

A week later, his disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were shut, Jesus came, stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."

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

Later on, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. This is what happened:

Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two of his other disciples were together.

Just as dawn was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn't realize it was Jesus.

But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. They were only about 200 cubits away from the shore.

Then Jesus told them, "Come, have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?", because they knew it was the Lord.

This was now the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after he had been raised from the dead.

When that sound came, a crowd quickly gathered, startled because each one heard the disciples speaking in his own language.

In those days, as the number of the disciples was growing larger and larger, a complaint was made by the Hellenistic Jews against the Hebraic Jews that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food.

So the Twelve called the whole group of disciples together and said, "It is not desirable for us to neglect messages from God in order to wait on tables.

So the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem continued to grow rapidly. Even a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

Meanwhile, still spewing death threats against the Lord's disciples, Saul went to the high priest.

He got up and was baptized, and after eating some food, he felt strong again. For several days he stayed with the disciples in Damascus.

but his disciples took him one night and let him down through the city wall by lowering him in a basket.

When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they all were afraid of him because they wouldn't believe he was a disciple.

Now when Peter was going around among all of the disciples, he also visited the saints living in Lydda.

Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to him and begged him, "Come here quickly!"

When he found him, he brought him to Antioch, and for a whole year they were guests of the church and taught many people. It was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.

So all of the disciples decided they would send a contribution to the brothers living in Judea, as they were able,

Meanwhile, the disciples continued to be full of joy and the Holy Spirit.

When Apollos wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples there, urging them to welcome him. On his arrival he greatly helped those who, through God's grace, had believed.

It was while Apollos was in Corinth that Paul passed through the inland districts and came to Ephesus. He found a few disciples there

But when some people became stubborn, refused to believe, and slandered the Way in front of the people, Paul left them, taking his disciples away with him, and held daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

Paul wanted to go into the crowd, but the disciples wouldn't let him.

When the uproar was over, Paul sent for the disciples and encouraged them. Then he said goodbye to them and left to go to Macedonia.
