As I understand it, an apostle is one of the 12 chosen by Jesus including Peter, James, John, Thomas, etc.

A disciple is any follower of Jesus.

As a side note, other religious figures had disciples. For example, John the Baptist, St. Paul etc.

Who was the apostle who asked for Jesus' body?

AnswerThe gospels are in agreement that a person called Joseph of Arimathea asked Herod for the body of Jesus. However, there is no agreement that Joseph was actually a disciple, rather than a pious Jew for whom it was necessary to end the crucifixion before the start of the Passover.Mark's Gospel says that Joseph was an honourable counsellor and makes no suggestion that he was a disciple of Jesus. Matthew's Gospel says that Joseph was a rich man and a disciple of Jesus. Luke's Gospel says that Joseph was a counsellor and a good man from the city of Arimathea but, like Mark, does not say that he was a disciple. John's Gospel says that Joseph was a disciple of Jesus. The location of the city of Arimathea has not been established.

Was the apostle John the beloved disciple of Jesusthe writer of Revelation?

NO. The real revelations of the Apostle John about the end times were concealed, to be revealed directly in the 21st century. The ones in the Bible are false. Neither God, nor Jesus, nor the Apostle John would have entrusted such revelations to humanity in those times because no religious group has been mature enough in the last 2000 years to have such information. The Christians have been completely deceived.

Was Paul who used to be Saul one of Jesus' disciples?

The disciples were a group of people (especially referring to a specific group of twelve) who were students of Jesus before his death. Paul was not a student of Jesus, so he shouldn't be considered a disciple of Jesus. However, he is considered an apostle (one of those sent out by Jesus to spread the gospel). In the braoder sense of the word discipple means 'one who is taught or trained' and in this sense all Christian including Paul are disciples, but as stated above Paul was not one of the twelve disciples
