'Disciples' in the Bible

The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus *answered again and *said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

Then they *came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.

As 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 were listening.

Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury;

As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples *said to Him, “Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!”

On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples *said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

And He *sent two of His disciples and *said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;

and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

They *came to a place named Gethsemane; and He *said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.”

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

The Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

And they said to Him, “The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the disciples of the Pharisees also do the same, but Yours eat and drink.”

Now it happened that He was passing through some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain.

And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles:

Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,

And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

The disciples of John reported to him about all these things.

Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?”

His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant.

Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.

(For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, “Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each.”

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

And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?”

I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.”

And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.But while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples,

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

Turning to the disciples, He said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see,

It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.”

Under these circumstances, after so many thousands of people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

And He said to His disciples, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.

Now He was also saying to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions.

He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!

And He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them.

When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples,

As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples,

And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

And He came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

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

The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

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

His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.”

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.

Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purification.

Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

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

For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”

Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

So the disciples were saying to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?”

Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.

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

When they were filled, He *said to His disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost.”

Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, “This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?”

But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?

As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.

Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”

He answered them, “I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?”

They reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

Then after this He *said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”

The disciples *said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?”

The disciples then said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.

But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, *said,

These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

Then He *poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

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

My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.

Some of His disciples then said to one another, “What is this thing He is telling us, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I go to the Father’?”

His disciples *said, “Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not using a figure of speech.

When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples.

Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

Then the slave-girl who kept the door *said to Peter, “You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He *said, “I am not.”

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

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.”

So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

Mary Magdalene *came, announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.

So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be with you.”

And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.”

Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way.

Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.
