  Abstract:  The Selection of Old Testament’s Prophets, Qumran’s and Jesus’ Disciples. The story of the disciples’ vocation shows several resemblances with the call stories of the Old Testament prophets, especially the call of Elisha by Elijah (1Kgs 19,19–21). Karl Heinrich Rengstorf strongly refutes this view because he thinks that in the Old Testament did not exist a master-disciple relationship. Although many agreed, at this point he is out in this matter. Jesus’ disciples do not have to be on probation and live isolated as the followers of the Teacher of Righteousness in Qumran. Contrary to the latter, Jesus’ disciples received their calling primarily for service. Jesus taught the message and love of the Father, lived it in front of his disciples in order that they may continue his mission. The followers of philosophy and the disciples of the rabbis could surpass their masters, but for Jesus’ disciples it was enough to be like the One that called them.
