In Mark 10:37, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who are nicknamed "Boanerges," or "sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17), asked Jesus that they could sit on his left and right hand in the kingdom of heaven. This is a most particularly strange request, especially so early in Mark's Gospel.
Dennis R MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) suggests a Homeric parallel to another pair of brothers, the Dioscuri, sons of the god Zeus. Zeus is often associated with thunder, and his sons are depicted iconographically as on the right and left of Zeus, just like James' and John's request to sit at the right and left of Jesus.

Who was Jesus trying to save on the water?
There are two incidents that stand out involving Jesus saving someone and being on water. One was when the apostle Peter stepped out of the boat to walk to Jesus. As he walked, he took his eyes off Jesus and lost the faith he had that led him to step out in the first place. This story is in the gospels. The second takes place as the apostles were crossing the sea of Galilee in boats and a storm came up suddenly. Jesus was asleep in one of the boats, and when it seemed the boats were about to capsize, the apostles woke Jesus up and asked Him to save them, which He did. This story is also in the gospels.
