The '''seventy disciples''' ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): ἑβδομήκοντα μαθητές, ''hebdomikonta mathetes''), known in the [Eastern Christian](/source/Eastern_Christianity) traditions as the '''seventy apostles''' ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): ἑβδομήκοντα απόστολοι, ''hebdomikonta apostoloi''), were early emissaries of [Jesus](/source/Jesus) mentioned in the [Gospel of Luke](/source/Gospel_of_Luke). The number of those disciples varies between either 70 or 72 depending on the manuscript.

The passage from [Luke 10](/source/Luke_10) in the [Gospel of Luke](/source/Gospel_of_Luke), the only [gospel](/source/gospel) in which they are mentioned, includes specific instructions for the mission, beginning with (in [Douay–Rheims Bible](/source/Douay%E2%80%93Rheims_Bible)):<ref>{{bibleverse|Luke|10:1–21|DRA}}</ref>
{{blockquote|And after these things the Lord appointed also other seventy-two: and he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.}}

In [Western Christianity](/source/Western_Christianity), they are usually referred to as [disciples](/source/Disciple_(Christianity)),<ref>Catholic Encyclopedia: [https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05029a.htm  Disciple]: "The disciples, in this disciples, in this context, are not the crowds of believers who flocked around Christ, but a smaller body of His followers. They are commonly identified with the seventy-two (seventy, according to the received Greek text, although several Greek manuscripts mention seventy-two, as does the Vulgate) referred to {{bibleverse|Luke|10:1}}) as having been chosen by Jesus. The names of these disciples are given in several lists (Chronicon Paschale, and Pseudo-Dorotheus in Migne, P.G., XCII, 521–24, 543–45, 1061–65); but these lists are unfortunately worthless."</ref> whereas in Eastern Christianity they are usually referred to as [apostles](/source/apostles).<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.oca.org/saints/id/lives/100017 |title= Synaxis of the Seventy Apostles | publisher = OCA}}</ref> Using the original [Greek words](/source/Greek_language), both titles are descriptive, as an ''apostle'' is one sent on a [mission](/source/Mission_(Christian)) (the Greek uses the verb form ἀποστέλλειν – ''’apostéllein''), whereas a ''disciple'' is a student, but the two traditions differ on the scope of the words ''apostle'' and ''disciple''.

== Analysis ==
This is the only mention of the group in the [Bible](/source/Bible). The number is ''seventy'' in some manuscripts of the [Alexandrian](/source/Alexandrian_text-type) (such as [Codex Sinaiticus](/source/Codex_Sinaiticus)) and [Caesarean](/source/Caesarean_text-type) text traditions but ''seventy-two'' in most other Alexandrian and [Western](/source/Western_text-type) texts. [Samuel Dickey Gordon](/source/Samuel_Dickey_Gordon) notes that they were sent out as thirty-five deputations of two each.<ref>Gordon, S. D. (1906), [https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/12529/pg12529-images.html#ch03-1 Quiet Talks on Service], via [Project Gutenberg](/source/Project_Gutenberg), accessed 15 January 2024</ref>

The number may derive from the [seventy nations of Genesis 10](/source/Sons_of_Noah) or the many other occurrences of the number seventy in the Bible, or the seventy-two translators of the [Septuagint](/source/Septuagint) from the [Letter of Aristeas](/source/Letter_of_Aristeas).<ref>[Bruce Metzger](/source/Bruce_Metzger), ''Textual Commentary on the Greek NT''.</ref> In translating the ''[Vulgate](/source/Vulgate)'', [Jerome](/source/Jerome) selected the reading of seventy-two.

The ''Gospel of Luke'' is not alone among the [synoptic gospels](/source/synoptic_gospels) in containing multiple episodes in which Jesus sends out his followers on missions. The first occasion ({{bibleverse|Luke|9:1–6}}) is closely based on the "limited commission" mission in {{bibleverse|Mark|6:6–13}}, which, however, recounts the sending out of the [twelve apostles](/source/twelve_apostles), rather than seventy, though with similar details. The report of the second commission is likely a Lukan construct. The text has parallels with the [Gospel of Thomas](/source/Gospel_of_Thomas), which is likely dependent on Lukan redaction in 14.4.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wolter |first=Michael |title=The Gospel According to Luke Volume II (Luke 9:31-24) |publisher=Baylor University Press |year=2021 |isbn=978-1481306706 |pages=53}}</ref> Luke also mentions the [Great Commission](/source/Great_Commission) to "all nations" ({{bibleverse|Luke|24:44–49}}) but in less detail than Matthew's account, and {{bibleverse|Mark|16:19–20}} mentions the [Dispersion of the Apostles](/source/Dispersion_of_the_Apostles).

What has been said to the seventy (two) in {{bibleverse|Luke|10:4}} is referred in passing to the Twelve in {{bibleverse|Luke|22:35}}:

{{blockquote | He said to them, "When I sent you forth without a money bag or a sack or sandals, were you in need of anything?" "No, nothing", they replied.}}

The [feast day](/source/feast_day) commemorating the seventy is known as the "[Synaxis](/source/Synaxis) of the Seventy Disciples" in Eastern Orthodoxy, and is celebrated on [January 4](/source/January_4_(Eastern_Orthodox_liturgics)). Each of the seventy disciples also has individual commemorations scattered throughout the [liturgical year](/source/liturgical_year) (see [Eastern Orthodox Church calendar](/source/Eastern_Orthodox_Church_calendar)).
