'Friends' in the Bible

Now Jesus loved and was concerned about Martha and her sister and Lazarus [and considered them dear friends].

No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends.

You are my friends if you keep on doing what I command you.

I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you [My] friends, because I have revealed to you everything that I have heard from My Father.
