Disciple

"If you make my word your home you will indeed be my disciples; you will come to know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8: 31)

Disciple – discipulus: I learn and I teach.

Disciple – pupil: one who receives instruction from another. One who accepts the doctrine of another and assists in spreading or implementing them.

Every true disciple of Christ must be free.

• Jesus called his 12 disciples (Matthew 10: 1; Mark 6: 7; Luke 6: 13)
  
• His disciples came to him (Matthew 5:1)
  
• Jesus took the 12 aside (Matthew 20: 17)
  
• Jesus spoke to his disciples (Luke 6: 20)
  
• Joseph of Arimathea was a disciple (Matthew 27: 57), but secretly for fear of the Jews (Luke 14: 33)

• Take my yoke and learn from me (Matthew 11: 29)
