Matthew8:21

And another of his disciples, etc. The word disciple properly signifies learner; and was given to his followers because they received him as their teacher. Mt 5:1. It does not of necessity mean that a disciple was a pious man, but only one of the multitude, who, for various causes, might attend on his instructions. See Jn 6:66, 9:28
