Two problems with that. First, Jesus was talking to his disciples, second, it is very clear that Jesus would be the supernatural cause of any effect.

I'm pretty sure Astreja understands that the alleged source of this power is Jesus/God. After all, the woman can read. So let's set aside that "problem".

The real problem is that now apparently "disciple" only refers to those Jesus directly spoke to. So you're not a disciple of Christ. Lol. Got it. However, I'm betting that this distinction of yours only applies to those cases in which accepting the plain meaning of his words as applying to you only comes up when doing so would prove uncomfortable or embarrassing and that you are a disciple in good standing when there is nothing potentially falsifiable on the table.

How many of Jesus' other utterances don't apply to you?
