 By the end of chapter 1, we see all these men following Him. They committed themselves to be Jesus' disciples. And Jesus demonstrates an important principle here that we can benefit from. In 2 Timothy 2.2, it says, "...things that thou hast heard of Me among many witnesses, same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." And when Jesus had these disciples, He didn't do it just to gather a following, just to help support Him. Jesus didn't need any support.
