Yes, all who follow God's Law are His friends:
John 15:14New International Version (NIV)14 You are my friends if you do what I command.
There is no record in the Bible of how any of Jesus' disciples died.
Matthew and John were disciples.
12
Not just believe in Jesus as many Churches teach as Scripture says even the demons believe. But disciples are to be 'imitators' of Jesus as our perfect model.
Jesus had 12 Disciples
jesus had many friends, his 12 disciples were his friends
his disciples
The friend of JESUS is his FOLLOWERS ,BELIEVERS ,APOSTLES AND DISCIPLES .
jesus had many friends mainly his disciples but he also had family friends that he would hand around with.

Off hand, I would say that of the twelve disciples, John and Peter were His two closest friends. John, in his gospel called himself "the disciple whom Jesus loved". Peter was the one who after he had denied Jesus three times, was asked by Jesus: "Peter do you love me?" three times.
Jesus' disciples
We called the 12 men as disciples.
They were mainly the disciples , the friends like Lazrus and those who saw Jesus heal someone.
They all faithly remained Jesus disciples after his death.
All of the disciples were his friends but I think the friend you are refering to is the disciple John.
Jesus' disciples were primarily Jewish.
