Indeed! 😀 BUTJesus didn’t limit himself to a small number of followers to give the IMPRESSION that he was important.

Also, his disciples weren’t groupies or a “privileged set” - their job was to help spread the truth. They were part of Jesus’s team.

Iwould argue that even when Jesus walked the Earth that first time, he had MANY followers, else why would Rome have viewed him as a threat and crucify him as the leader of a movement that threatened the power of Rome?

Jesus is the real deal. People who feign importance by limiting the number of people they follow (as a means to generate interest) are false.

There us a huge difference between Jesus and bunch of posers more interested in the size of their following than the message.
