Who were Jesus` friends?
Jesus had many friends. First, his twelve disciples were his friends. Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha, were also Jesus` friends. (See John 11). Several women were also Jesus` friends (see Luke 8:3). And some Pharisees became Jesus` friends, such as Nicodemus (John 3) and Joseph of Arimathea. Jesus no doubt had other friends whose names are not in the Bible.

Most important of all, though, is to know that those who do the will of God are Jesus` friend: "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you (John 15:14).  We are even closer than friends when we follow God`s will: " . . . whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother" (Matthew 12:50).

Jesus` disciples were among His closest friends. Read about Jesus` disciples here.
