This paper is trying to focuses a few aspects of the figure of the disciple of Christ in the Gospel of saint Mark. Jesus Christ, from the beginning of his public activity had the intention to be accompanied by disciples. They followed the Saviour and were witnesses of his wonderful words and deeds. After they learned at the school of Jesus, they were sent to continue the work of spreading God’s Kingdom and the Gospel.
In what it concerns the illustrating of the theme, after some general elements, will be analyzed two texts from the Gospel : Mk 1:16-20 and Mk 3:13-19. These two fragments reflect an image of discipleship: the vocation, the conditions of the following and the mission. In conclusion, are suggested some theological reflections and an actualization to the situation at this millennium beginning. Even for the present it is important to research to follow Jesus Christ as a disciple.
