Definition for Disciple A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Disciple: In general terms, a disciple is someone who follows another. John the Baptist had disciples (see John 1:35), the Jewish religious leaders had disciples (see Luke 5:33), and Jesus had disciples (see Matthew 10:1). Also, the Pharisees affirmed that they were Moses' disciples, albeit centuries after Moses' death (see John 9:28). Sometimes Disciple, as a proper noun, refers to one of Jesus' original twelve followers, whereas other times it refers to any follower of Jesus (see John 8:31). Often the terms disciple and apostle are used interchangeably, although some would say that a Disciple is one of the original twelve followers, whereas an Apostle is a more generic term that applies to all followers of Jesus.
