Quotes

A disciple wants to be like the teacher, that is to become what the teacher is. That meant that students were passionately devoted to their rabbi, and noted everything he did 
or said. This meant the rabbi and disciple relationship was a very intense and personal system 
of education. As the rabbi lived and 
taught his understanding of 
the Scripture his disciples listened and watched and imitated so 
as to become like him. Eventually they would 
become teachers passing on a lifestyle to their disciples.

Ray VanderLaan, “Rabbi and Talmidim”

 

To live as a community who follows Jesus, journeys together, and demonstrates God's love to all people.

 

Hebrew, like Greek, has no 
word for the small social unit which we call family.

Colin Brown, ed., New International Dictionary of the New Testament, p 247
