'Disciples' in the Bible

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!"

The disciples were amazed at His words. Jesus, however, said again, "Children, how hard a struggle is it for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God!

They came to Jericho; and as He was leaving that town--Himself and His disciples and a great crowd--Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus)

When they were getting near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on in front, with these instructions.

and He said to the tree, "Let no one ever again eat fruit from thee!" And His disciples heard this.

When evening came on, Jesus and His disciples used to leave the city.

So He called His disciples to Him and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that this widow, poor as she is, has thrown in more than all the other contributors to the Treasury;

As He was leaving the Temple, one of His disciples exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, what wonderful stones! what wonderful buildings!"

On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread--the day for killing the Passover lamb--His disciples asked Him, "Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him,

and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, 'The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'

So the disciples went out and came to the city, and found everything just as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.

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

So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed."

But go and tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you into Galilee: and that there you will see Him, as He told you."
