In the New Testament, it is used to describe the process of teaching and guiding individuals to become followers of Jesus Christ. This involves not only imparting knowledge but also shaping the character and life of the learner to align with the teachings of Christ.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, discipleship was a common practice where students would attach themselves to a teacher to learn philosophy, rhetoric, or other disciplines. In the Jewish context, discipleship involved a close relationship between a rabbi and his students, where the students would learn the Torah and the rabbi's interpretation of it. Jesus adopted this model, calling His followers to be His disciples, learning from Him and living according to His teachings.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3100</b> <i>mathēteúō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3101.htm">3101</a> <i>/mathētḗs</i>, "disciple") – to disciple, i.e. helping someone to <i>progressively learn</i> the Word of God to become a matured, growing <i>disciple</i> (literally, "a learner," a true Christ-follower); to train (develop) in the truths of Scripture <i>and</i> the <i>lifestyle</i> required, i.e. helping a believer <i>learn</i> to be a disciple of Christ <i>in belief and practice</i>. <a href="/greek/3101.htm">See 3101</a> (<i>mathētēs</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3101.htm">mathétés</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be a disciple, to make a disciple<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>become a disciple (2), made...disciples (1), make disciples (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3100: μαθητεύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μαθητεύω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐμαθήτευσα</span>; 1 aorist passive <span class="greek2">ἐμαθητευθην</span>; (<span class="greek2">μαθητής</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> intransitive, <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <span class="accented">to be the disciple of one; to follow his precepts and instruction</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-57.htm">Matthew 27:57</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading, cf. <a href="/interlinear/john/19-38.htm">John 19:38</a> (so <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, mor., pp. 832 b.
