Best Answer

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.
