Apostles and Desciples, what's the difference?
A "disciple" is a follower, a student, i.e from the same root word as that of "discipline". An "apostle" is an emissary, someone who is sent out to spread a message (apo = "out", stolos = "sent"). Effectively, the disciples became apostles after Jesus left.
Jesus said before his ascension to his desciples who then graduated to become Apostles, to make desicples of all nation.
