Disciple: A scholar, sometimes applied to the followers of John the Baptist (Mat_9:14), and of the Pharisees (Mat_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
(Mat_10:24; Luk_14:26, Luk_14:27, Luk_14:33; Joh_6:69)
Easton Bible Dictionary
(1) Usually a substantive (μαθητης, mathetes, “a learner,” from manthano, “to learn”; Latin discipulus, “a scholar”)
(2) We have also the verb, μαθητευω, matheteuo, “Jesus' disciple” (literally, “was discipled to Jesus,” Mat_27:57); “Make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:18-20)

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.“
