Correct answers:
- to prepare them to continue his ministry
- to preserve his words
Brief explanation:
Jesus chose disciples to be with him, learn from him, and be sent out as witnesses and leaders who would carry on his mission and teach others (e.g. Mark 3:14; Matthew 28:18–20). The disciples also preserved and passed on his teachings (cf. John 17; the Gospel tradition).
Not correct:
- to protect him from his enemies — that was not their purpose; Jesus did not appoint them as bodyguards (and often rebuked attempts at violence).
- to provide for his needs — some followers did support him materially (e.g. Luke 8:1–3), but that was a consequence rather than the primary reason he chose them.
