Great question!

Where are His disciples?


They are nowhere to be found. Only the women closest to Jesus are found at the site of His crucifixion. Peter had denied Christ three times throughout the night and was destroyed emotionally by his failure to remain strong for Jesus. No account is given of the other disciples here. In another book it is written that John and .... were close by when Christ asked John to take over care of His mother.


We learn here that the disciples, even those who would later write scripture, failed to remain with Christ throughout His being beaten, tortured and crucified. And this was not all that long after Peter's famous declaration "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Another quote of Peter when Jesus asked if His hard teachings would cause them to leave Him, Peter said in paraphrase "where else can we go, You have the words of eternal life?" On another occasion when Jesus exposed Judas as His betrayer Peter said that he would remain by Christ's side no matter what may come. Hours later Peter denied Jesus.


Does this speak badly of such famous characters? No way. We learn here that they are human, just like us. They could fail just like us. Even with Christ in their presence. Yet each one of them returned to Christ's side after the resurrection, showing their commitment was genuine (except Judas). In our attempts to follow Christ we will fail at times, and we have these verses to go to and see that God will remain faithful to us even when we fail Him. God is awesome.

Please explain Mathew chapter 9 verses 14 and 15.?

9:14 By this time John the Baptist was probably in prison. His disciples came to Jesus with a problem. They themselves fasted often, but Jesus' disciples did not. Why not? 9:15 Jesus answered with an illustration. He was the bridegroom and His disciples the wedding guests. As long as He was with them, there was no reason to fast as a sign of mourning. But He would be taken from them; then His disciples would fast. He was taken from them-in death and burial, and since His ascension He has been bodily absent from His disciples. While Jesus' words do not command fasting, they certainly approve it as an appropriate exercise for those who await the Bridegroom's return.
