Just before Judas' betrayal and nearing the time of His crucifixion, Jesus travelled to the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives with His disciples so that He could pray. Before He went to pray, Jesus told the disciples to watch with Him as He prayed. But while Jesus was praying, His disciples fell asleep. Three separate times, Jesus came back during His time of prayer to find the disciples asleep. The following verses from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke include what Jesus said to them after He found them asleep: Luke 22:46 "And said unto them, 'Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.'" Matthew 26:40-41 "And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, 'What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.'" Mark 14:37-38 "And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, 'Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.'" Mark 14:41-42 "And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, 'Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.'" Matthew 26:45-46 "Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, 'Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.'" The entire account is found in Matthew 26:36-45, Mark 14:32-41, and Luke 22:39-46.
A:Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to two strangers. Somehow, the disciples knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah. Why the disciples even thought the men were Moses and Elijah is not stated.

Peter, James and John (Mark 5:37).
Jesus is reported to have gone up more than one mountain. For example: Mark 3:13: Jesus went up a mountain with those who wished to be his disciples, and chose twelve of them. No reason is given for making a mountain the venue, but it adds drama to the story. Mark 6:46: After feeding the five thousand, Jesus sent them away and then went up into a mountain to pray. Once again, no reason is given for having to go up a mountain to pray, but had he not done so there would have been no explantion for him knowing that the disciples were in trouble in their ship on the lake, and there would have been no opportunity for him to walk on the water to save them. Mark 9:2: Jesus took Peter, John and James up a high mountain, where he was transfigured (his appearance changed) and they saw him talking to Moses and Elijah. No reason is given for the need to go up a mountain in order to meet Moses and Elijah, but once again this adds drama to the story.
A:There are some different answers to this depending on the gospel relied on. The reason for this is that the first New Testament gospel to be written, now known as Mark's Gospel, originally ended at verse 16:8, with no appearances of the risen Jesus. When the authors of Matthew and Luke copied mark's Gospel, they had no guidance from Mark as to what happened next yet, working independent of each other, they both wanted to give their readers proof that Jesus had been raised from the dead. Because of a suggestion about Galilee earlier in Mark, Matthew has Jesus meet the disciples at a mountain in Galilee, where he said farewell and sent them to all nations to teach the gospel. Luke has Jesus meet the eleven at a meal in the upper room, in Jerusalem, then he took them out on the road to Bethany, where he was taken bodily up into heaven.John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke, but the Johannine community appears to have been involved in a minor dispute with a community that followed St Thomas as its patron. In the corresponding meeting, Jesus first met only ten of the disciples (with Thomas absent) and breathed on them, saying (John 20:22), "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." Not only did Thomas miss out on receiving the Holy Spirit (John's author was unaware of the account in Acts of the Apostles), but was shown to be a 'Doubting Thomas' when Jesus met all eleven disciples in the same room eight days later. After the two meetings in the upper room, Jesus met the disciples at the Sea of Galilee.The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) that we now have on Mark's Gospel more or less agrees with Luke and has Jesus meet the disciples at as meal in the upper room in Jerusalem.
Jesus took a few disciples to a mountain call Mount of Transfiguration. Where the two prophets of old prophet Elijah and prophet Moses were seen by the disciples.
Scripture does not name the mountain. It says Jesus took Peter, James and John up to a high mountain. See Matthew 17:1 and Mark 9:2.

I don't know about them being referred to as "the circle", but the three disciples of the twelve that Jesus took with him to certain places, like the Mountain of Transfiguration, Garden of Gethsemane, etc. were Simon Peter, James, and John. (Matthew 17)
The calling of the disciples took place at the beginning of Jesus' ministry, shortly after he was baptized by John the Baptist.
Jesus went to the mountain to pray as the scripture says:And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.(Mark 6.46)Four of these times are recorded in the Gospels.Answer:He would go to a mountain to escape the crowds of people that followed Him; both for solitude and prayer... and so that He could be alone with His disciples. They would follow Him up... but there was no room to support the multitudes."And seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain: and when He was set, His disciples came unto Him: and He opened His mouth, and taught them..." (Matt.5:1-2).And sometimes, when no mountain was near, He just sent the people away and took His disciples into His house: "Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and His disciples came unto Him..." (Matt.13:36).

They took Mary and went into hiding, but Judas committed suicide.
Peter was a disciple of Jesus. He often took the lead amongst the disciples and was a spokesman for them on occasion.
St. Peter, or Peter the apostle (as he is called in the New Testament) was one of Jesus' 12 disciples, and also one of Jesus' "inner circle" of 3 disciples, Peter, James and John. Jesus took these three with him up the mountain to the transfiguration (Matthew 17) As Jesus predicted, Peter betrayed Jesus by denying him, and was 'reinstated' by Jesus after the resurrection.
Jesus did have female disciples, but you must remember the events of the Gospels took place in a different culture and over 2000 years ago it wasn't the same in the world as it is now.
