The word “disciple” refers to ones who were disciplined or taught The word “apostle” means<br />
“one who is sent out.” While Jesus was on earth, His twelve followers were called disciples.<br />
The twelve disciples followed Jesus Christ, learned from Him, and were trained by Him. After<br />
His resurrection and ascension, Jesus sent the disciples out to be His witnesses (Matthew<br />
28:18-20; Acts 1:8). They were then referred to as the twelve apostles.<br />
Matthew 10:2-4, Mark 3:14-19, and Luke 6:13-16: And when day came, he called his<br />
disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles: Simon, whom he named<br />
Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and<br />
Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the<br />
Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.<br />
The Drash Gospel is Matthew. Matthew presents Messiah as the King, the Lion of Judah the<br />
Branch of David (Jer. 23:5-6 ; Is. 11:1f) symbolized by the face of the lion in Ezekiel 1.<br />
Jesus is the Son of God<br />
