Peter, John and James sons of Zebedee were the strongest in faith of the Twelve, hence they were chosen by Jesus for the receiving of instruction necessary for the foundation of the Church.

Ref: New Testament - 'he suffered no man to follow him but Peter, James, and John...' 'He took Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray' 'He suffered no man to go in to heal the maiden but Peter, John, and James...' etc; Clement - 'Peter, James, and John, being favoured of the Lord above the rest...', 'the Lord gave to James the Just, and Peter, and John, the gift of knowledge, and they gave it to the other apostles, who gave it to the seventy...'.
