i dont have a clue ??
Answer:
Anyone who reads, believes and acts upon the Word of God, The Bible, through Faith. This "sanctifies" the disciple of God from others [sets them apart from others for God's Holy use and purpose]:
"...Thy Word [the Bible] is Truth... for their [Jesus' disciples] sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the Truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their Word..." (John 17:17-20).
A "modern day disciple" seeks to "obey the Word of God."
"...be ye DOERS of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." (James 1:22)
"Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. DO WHAT IT SAYS." (same verse; NIV)
Modern day disciples of God are no different from ancient ones. They are simply the "doers of the Word of God."

The twelve disciples were the first. But, a disciple is simply a follower of God.

Was John closest to Christ?
------------------------ John's Gospel talks of a 'disciple whom Jesus loved' but does not identify that disciple. The second-century Church Fathers noticed that whenever the book talks about the disciple, it does not mention John and, on this evidence alone, decided that this disciple must therefore be John. Like all the New Testament Gospels, John's Gospel was written anonymously, but the Church Fathers came to the conclusion that the author must be the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and, since they had decided this disciple to be John, the Gospel author was the disciple John. The second century reasoning was merely conjecture and is not accepted by modern biblical scholars. If the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' was closest to Jesus, we still do not know who that disciple was.
