Jesus Christ: His Disciples
Overview
In this book on the disciples, Butler's study is divided into two separate parts of twelve chapters each. The first twelve chapters give a profile of each of the disciples individually.

Praise for the Print Edition
John G. Butler, longtime pastor and Bible commentator, is to be commended for his affirmation, alliteration, and application of the biblical text. He provides a treasure chest of biblical truth for the teacher and preacher of the Word of God. I gladly recommend his writings.
—Dr. Franklin L. Kirksey, Pastor, Teacher, Mentor, Writer, Author of Sound Biblical Preaching: Giving the Bible a Voice
I know of no finer collection of resources than Butler. No library is complete without these uncompromising gems of wisdom. After reading the Bible text itself, my next step is always to consult Butler. They are absolutely essential to my Bible study.

Top Highlights
“The question by Peter evidenced that they were not listening well or growing well spiritually.” (Page 26)
“Peter was committed to the Word. That kind of commitment will face every challenge victoriously. Challenges to our faith will not be met successfully because of good circumstances in the world but because of a good commitment to the Word.” (Page 21)
“The great distinction of Andrew was precisely this that he brought Simon to Christ’ (A. T. Robertson). Andrew had great compassion for the soul of his brother. Andrew did not write any books of the Bible, and he was not one of the main leaders of the early church, but he did a tremendous work because he had compassion for his brother Peter and, as a result, brought to Christ a man who became one of the greatest of the Apostles.” (Page 73)
“What caused Andrew to seek Peter. The answer is simple. Andrew had met the Lord himself (John 1:35–40) and this inspired Andrew to seek out Peter to bring him to Christ. Andrew had become acquainted with the Messiah.” (Page 73)
“Commands always seem to challenge our faith, for they often go against the desires of the flesh and sometimes defy reason. This command went against the rules of fishing.” (Page 21)
