I's like to point out, once again, that the word disciple is gender-neutral, and the 12 apostles are the males that you're all thinking of. A disciple is any follower of Christ. Disciples were close followers, but not the 12 who sat with him at the Last Supper (although Da Vinci's painting of the event may depict a female at the table, most often thought to be Mary Magdalene.)
