John 15: 15-19 

This suggests that Jesus saw his relationship with the disciples as one of friendship rather than slavery, as he had a personal connection with them that they helped provide by being obedient to him. As a result of their obedience, Jesus told his disciples everything that God has told him, resulting in more obedience, and indirectly making Jesus a prophet. Jesus is implied to be a prophet as he shared what God had told him with his disciples, who could also be referred to as his people or friends because he chose them and made them his people. This is important, as the role of a prophet is to deliver a message from God to a group of people, which is exactly what Jesus is told he did by making the disciples his friends. Something similar could be said in Buddhism about Siddartha, as you could argue that he was a divine being that could be seen as a prophet. Like Jesus, Siddartha had followers known as disciples and would teach them higher teachings, like Jesus would teach his disciples things he learned from God. Jesus also indirectly states that the teaching of prayer is true when he says, “Whatever you ask my father in my name, it may come true.” This is demonstrated today, as when one prays, they end the prayer by saying “in Jesus’ name, amen.” Lastly, Jesus says that since they were close to him and that he was hated, his disciples would be hated as they kept his teachings alive, but he still wanted them to love the world. The concept of love is not important in Christianity but in all religions; a key part of religious beliefs is to love everyone. Jesus told the truth about his disciples being hated, just as James would be killed for his beliefs by Herod the Great. This shows again that Jesus was omniscient, as he predicted the future.
