A disciple is anyone who receives or professes to receive instructions or teaching from another. In the New Testament, this term usually has reference to those who professed to follow of Christ, even though they were not always real followers of Him (Mat. 26:20, 21; John. 6:66). The followers of John the Baptist are designated as disciples in Mat. 9:14; for this reason, it seems that the followers of any teacher were referred to in this way. The word disciple is frequently applied to the apostles and the body of believers contemporaneous with them (Acts 9:1). See “The Twelve Disciples”. Mat. 5:1; 8:21, 23, 25 (R. V., “they” in ver. 25); John 1:35, 37.
