Matthew 11:19 Amplified Bible (AMP)
19The Son of Man came eating and drinking [with others], 
and they say, ‘Look! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners
[including non-observant Jews]!’ 
Yet wisdom is justified and vindicated by her deeds
[in the lives of those who respond to Me].” 

John 15:15-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

14 You are my friends if you keep on doing what I command 

15 I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know
 what his master is doing; but I have called you [My] friends,
because I have revealed to you everything that I have heard from My Father. 

16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed 
and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit 
and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting,
so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative]
He may give to you. 

17 This [is what] I command you: that you love and 
unselfishly seek the best for one another.
