During the Last Supper when Jesus shared the bread and the wine He said, "As often as you do this, do so in rememberence of Me."
The bible does not give their names, but tells us that there were two disciples on the way to Emmamus.
The term 'disciples' means 'imitator' that is followers of Jesus Christ attempting to do things His way. The 'inner group' of disciples that were given to Jesus by His Father are called the 12 Apostles.
Yes it is.
Jesus had 12 apostles although many other people followed Jesus around and tried to assist him and are called disciples. All of those that follow our Lord, living and dead, are called disciples. We have no way of knowing this number.
All religions have disciples. A disciple is a follower of what ever religion they desire. Christian disciples follow Jesus Christ's teachings in the Bible. A disciple of Jesus has the responsibility to tell other people about Jesus Christ. In this way people can know what Jesus Christ did for the world and if called by God for salvation can respond to that call. Down through the centuries disciples of Christ have spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and many people now have eternal life. Christians believe that Jesus is "the way, the truth and the life" and that no one comes to the Father (God) except through Jesus ( John 14:6).
Answer 1The stopped what they were doing, gave up everything and followed him.Answer 2They were like "Duuude... no way!" and played air guitar.
I am sure there were many women disciples of Jesus. A disciple is someone who has been taught or trained in some way and Jesus did not restrict his teaching to men only.But there were no women among the 12 disciples. The twelve were the ones Jesus chose to be the leaders of the new Christians after He had gone. They received special training and teaching from Him to do this work.Probably He chose men because it was relevant to Jewish society at that time.
As long as you're talking about the famous betrayal of Jesus Christ by Judas Iscariot at Gethsemane, then no one actually gave orders to free Jesus' disciples. The three gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke only describe how the disciples fled at Jesus' arrest, but John 18:8 says, "Jesus answered, 'I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way.'" However, John does not record that the disciples were under arrest and that Jesus was "freeing" them--only that He was commanding (by His authority as the Son of God, though the soldiers arresting Him were trying to deny that) that they not be arrested.
The Sermon on the Mount, probably taught multiple times during Jesus' early ministry, was not given as a way of salvation for the lost but rather as a way of life for true children of the Kingdom of God (see Micah 6:8). It was instructional for those who had responded to Jesus' invitation to 'repent.' In one sense, Jesus turned the prevailing negative view of the Law into a positive core (Matthew 5:17).
Jesus means he is the only person who can give you life, show the way to heaven.
By becoming disciples or imitators of Jesus Christ, a Christian walks and talks in His ways - the Way of God's word.
It's about taking bread and wine as a way of reminding us about Jesus' death.
