Coterie

A coterie is a group of people who associate closely; an exclusive group; clique.

Peter, James, and John formed a coterie with Jesus. They were the only witnesses present at the raising of Jarius' daughter (Mark 5:37; Luke 8:51), the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1, Mark 9:2; Luke 9:28), and Gethsemane (Mark 14:33).

And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James. (Mark 5:37, NASB)
