Apóstolos vs Discípulos: Qual é a diferença?



  • A disciple is anyone who follows Jesus and learns from him, and an apostle is a disciple he sent out to preach with his authority, so every apostle was a disciple but most disciples were never apostles.
  • Após uma noite de oração, Jesus escolheu doze dos seus discípulos, “aos quais também deu o nome de apóstolos” (Lucas 6:13), e Matias ocupou mais tarde o lugar de Judas Iscariotes (Atos 1:26).
