5:37 Peter and James and John. Jesus built around Himself a hierarchy of closeness. There are numerous disciples (4:10) from whom twelve are appointed apostles (3:13–19), and within the Twelve some (Peter, James, John, and sometimes Andrew) enjoy Jesus’ fullest intimacy, most notably at the Transfiguration (9:2–13) and in Gethsemane (14:32, 33).
