John and James; they also inherited these names - John the Evangelist, John the Theologian, John the Beloved of the Lord - (for his virtue in being chaste); James the Righteous, James the Just, James the Bulwark, James the Lord's Brother, etc; and they were surnamed Boanerges, by Jesus Christ - Mark 3:17.
The disciples James and John were the sons of Zebedee.
----------------------- No. The sons of Zebedee are described in the gospels as James and John.
Father of James and JohnJames and John were the sons of Zebedee. They were colloquially known as Boanerges, a name given them by Jesus, meaning "Sons of Thunder".
The parents of James and John was Zebedee and Salome.
The disciples, John and James the sons of Zebedee.
John was the brother of James, and they were the sons of Zebedee.
Zebedee had two sons, James and John, who are both disciples of Jesus. They were among the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus to follow Him during His ministry. James is often referred to as James the Less, while John is known as the "beloved disciple."
The disciples James and John were both sons of Zebedee (Matthew 4:21). Peter and Andrew were also brothers (Matthew 4:18).
Many modern critics are of the opinion that James and John, the sons of Zebedee are Jesus' cousins through Salome the mother of James and John. If that is so, and I'm not saying it is, then the cousin's parent's are Salome and her husband Zebedee.
James and John, sons of Zebedee, were nicknamed "sons of thunder". Dennis R. MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) believes this is a classic Greek mimesis(literary copy) based on Castor and Polydeuces, who were by birth the sons of Laertes, but were renamed sons of Zeus, the Thunderer. MacDonald points to the many parallels between James and John, and Castor and Polydeuces.AnswerJames the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (Mark 3:17)
James the Greater is the brother of John the apostle, both of which are called the sons of Zebedee. James and John were given the nickname "Sons of Thunder" as described in Mark 3:1. All that is known of Zebedee is that he ran family fishing business which included his two sons [Matthew 4:21-22 and Mark 1:20]. The Catholic Encyclopedia concludes that the Salome of Mark 15:40 is probably identical with the mother of the James and John (sons of Zebedee in Matthew).
Traditionalist would say no, Zebedee married Salome and had two sons: James known as the great and John the evangelist. Jesus called these two 'Boanerges' or Sons of Thunder. There are some in Christianity that say Salome was an 'Aunt' of Jesus from His mother's side.
