The characteristics of a disciple of Jesus from your list would be:

  1. Teach others - Disciples are called to share what they have learned and to teach others about Jesus.
  2. Willing to go - Disciples are often called to missions and to go where they are needed to spread the Gospel.
  3. Follow Jesus - Being a disciple fundamentally means following Jesus and adhering to His teachings and example.
  4. Teachable - A disciple must be open to learning and growing in their faith, being receptive to correction and guidance.
  5. Put others first - Disciples are encouraged to prioritize the needs of others, following Jesus’ example of selflessness.
  6. Serve others - Serving others is a key component of discipleship, reflecting Jesus' service to humanity.

The characteristic "seek what is best for themselves" does not align with the qualities of a disciple of Jesus, as discipleship emphasizes selflessness and the welfare of others rather than self-interest.
