In the [[history]] of [[Christianity]], the '''disciples''' were the students of Jesus during his ministry. While [[Jesus]] attracted a large following, the Book of Acts refer to varying numbers of disciples that range between 70 and 120 to a "growing multitude". Jesus controversially accepted women and sinners (those who violated purity laws) among his followers. In the book of Acts, the Apostles themselves have disciples. The word disciple is used today as a way of self-identification for those who seek to learn from the teachings of Jesus, such as the [[Sermon on the Mount]].
