Followers of Jesus. The Book of Acts says that after Jesus' resurrection, 120 of his followers met together in Jerusalem to pray before their baptism in the Holy Spirit. So, it's reasonable to assume that before Jesus' resurrection (when a lot of his followers scattered), there were probably a couple hundred people following him around. Of those, he chose 72 to send out on at least one occasion.

The 12 Disciples that we usually think of were his "inner circle," his closest friends whom he taught in private, and whom were designated "apostles": Peter, John, James, Matthew, etc.

How many of the twelve disciples did Jesus select to be an apostle?

The disciples were the apostles. It's an almost interchangeable term. Jesus had numerous disciples. At one point he sent at least 72 disciples, or followers, out to spread his teaching. The apostles were the "big 12," plus Paul, who were the closest to Jesus. They also stayed with him through thick and thin, as shown in John 6:60-69; see the Related Links section for a link to the passage online.
