The Pattern of Discipleship
Commentators explain that Jesus outlines a clear, three-part process for genuine discipleship: 1) Coming to Him, 2) Hearing His words, and 3) Doing what He says. Scholars note the Greek verbs for 'hearing' and 'doing' imply a continuous, ongoing action, not a one-time event. This is the essential pattern of a follower of Christ.
