Disciple:
lit., "a learner" (from manthano, "to learn," from a root math--, indicating thought accompanied by endeavor), in contrast to didaskalos, "a teacher;" hence it denotes "one who follows one's teaching," as the "disciples" of John, Mat 9:14; of the Pharisees, Mat 22:16; of Moses, Jhn 9:28; it is used of the "disciples" of Jesus
(a) in a wide sense, of Jews who became His adherents, Jhn 6:66; Luk 6:17, some being secretly so, Jhn 19:38;
(b) especially of the twelve Apostles, Mat 10:1; Luk 22:11, e.g.;
(c) of all who manifest that they are His "disciples" by abiding in His Word, Jhn 8:31; cp. Jhn 13:35; 15:8;
(d) in the Acts, of those who believed upon Him and confessed Him, Jhn 6:1, 2, 7; 14:20, 22, 28; 15:10; 19:1, etc.
A "disciple" was not only a pupil, but an adherent; hence they are spoken of as imitators of their teacher; cp. Jhn 8:31; 15:8.

Disciple:
is used in the Active Voice, intransitively, in some mss., in Mat 27:57, in the sense of being the "disciple" of a person; here, however, the best mss. have the Passive Voice, lit., "had been made a disciple," as in Mat 13:52, RV, "who hath been made a disciple."
