Bible Note: Hello Nevvvvine, Please forgive my intrusion, but as a manner of clarification, Paul was a disciple during the time Luke was with him. Paul may not have begun as a disciple, but certainly became one, and was called to be an Apostle. Luke, who was a disciple, was never called of God to be an Apostle Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary gives the following, in part, for the definition of disciple. 1: one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another: as a: one of the twelve in the inner circle of Christ's followers according to the Gospel accounts b: a convinced adherent of a school or individual (fn1) The word "disciple" refers to a "follower." The word "apostle" refers to "one who is sent out." While Jesus was on earth, the twelve were called disciples. These disciples followed Jesus Christ, and were taught by Him. Following Jesus' resurrection, He sent His disciples out (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) to be His witnesses. Blessings, keliy |
