'Friends' in the Bible

And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of a newly-married man go without food while he is with them? as long as they have him with them they will not go without food.

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

Then His friends all forsook Him and fled.
