Juan 15:15
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Jesus' elevation of the disciples from servants (who do not know their master's business) to friends (who have received full disclosure) is one of the most remarkable status-reversals in the New Testament, grounded in the declaration 'all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.' The Greek 'philos' (friend) carries Greek connotations of equality and shared counsel that were not typically predicated of the relationship between a lord and his followers. Abraham was called 'the friend of God' (James 2:23; Isaiah 41:8) in the Old Testament, and Jesus' declaration places the disciples in that elect inner circle. The verse became important in mystical and contemplative traditions as a basis for claiming intimacy with God rather than merely fearful obedience.
