What is the difference between a disciple and an apostle from a Jehovah bible?

In: New Testament [Edit categories]

Answer:

Never heard of a Jehovah bible. There are Jehovah Witnesses who have a bible called the 'New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

In any event, according to definition an Apostle is an exclusive ecclesiastical role historically held by very few. It literally means 'one sent' for a particular purpose to deliver a message - a special envoy or messenger of the gospel. Jesus Christ was called the Apostle in Hebrews 3:1.

A disciple can be best defined as 'an imitator' of Jesus Christ. One who strives to behave as their perfect example lived and behaved. There are many more disciples than Apostles.
