a
The correct reading is "the disciples." It is not merely to draw away "disciples" after them: every heretic seeks to do and does this; but the object of the enemy through these perverse men is to draw away "the" disciples, the body of those that confessed the Lord on the earth. Not less than the desertion of the whole flock was the blow aimed at the glory of Christ.
