Jesus lived in a deeply religious culture that valued biblical understanding more than anything else. Jesus spent his ministry among people who knew Scripture by memory, who debated its application with enthusiasm. To become a great rabbi was the highest goal possible; and just to be a disciple of a famous rabbi was an honor. Even in the present day, Judaism retains a tradition of discipleship. When Jewish rabbis are ordained, they are commissioned to "Raise up many disciples" That is our commission
