Jesus had 12 disciples but among them he had 3 who he called friends and had a special bond with Jesus - Peter, James, and John

The trio only was present at:

• Transfiguration when Jesus revealed his glory - Matthew 17
• When Jesus raised the daughter of a synagigue leader from the dead - Mark 5
• Gethsemane when Jesus faced his night of anguish and pain - Mark 14

• Peter founded and led the churchin Jerusalem
• John wrote a gospel and four other book of the Bible
