2 | Difference between apostle and disciple? | Matt 10:2 | pcdarcan | 134799 | ||
This is a good question and one could get confused about this because even Jesus is called an Apostle in Heb 3:1 (Amplified Bible) "... Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest..." He's called an apostle here because the original Greek verb for apostle means "sent forth" - of course, Jesus was 'sent forth' by God as his appointed and commissioned representative. However, I believe you may be asking this within the context of Jesus disciples. (Remember, John the Baptist had disciples that eventually became Jesus disciples - see John 1:35-42). The apostles refered to those disciples ( followers of Jesus) that number 12 and were selected by Jesus himself before all other disciples (Mt 10:1-4). So, the apostles [of Christ] are disciples [of Christ] too. Hope that helps. |

Thank for your reply. I had heard that the apostles were named because they were the only ones that saw Jesus and this of course makes sense since Jesus appointed them himself. This question was brought up on our bible study group and I shall pass it on. Thanks again. |

"he was seen of above five hundred" After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 1 Cor. 15:6 (KJV) You write: "I had heard that the apostles were named because they were the only ones that saw Jesus." The Bible says: 1 Cor. 15:3-6 (ESV) For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, [4] that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, [5] and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. [6] Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. |
