The terms "Apostles" and "Disciples" refer to different groups within early Christianity. The 12 Disciples are the followers of Jesus who learned from him and spread his teachings, while the 12 Apostles are specifically chosen by Jesus to be his closest emissaries and to carry out his mission after his resurrection. All Apostles were Disciples, but not all Disciples were Apostles. The distinction often highlights the Apostles' role in leadership and the establishment of the early Church.
