King James Version

“And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,”
μαθητής
Not just a follower — a learner who becomes like the teacher. The last command Jesus gives is not go and convert — it is go and make mathetes. People who learn from Me, walk like Me, think like Me, love like Me. The mission is not decisions. It is transformation.
