Disciple
   a scholar, sometimes applied to the followers of John the
   Baptist (Matt. 9:14), and of the Pharisees (22:16), but
   principally to the followers of Christ. A disciple of Christ is
   one who (1) believes his doctrine, (2) rests on his sacrifice,
   (3) imbibes his spirit, and (4) imitates his example (Matt.
   10:24; Luke 14:26, 27, 33; John 6:69).
