Were Peter James and John the only apostles in the garden with Jesus?
No, they were all there in the garden except Judas who came later with Jesus' captors. Jesus asked Peter James and John to go with him a little way off to pray. (Matthew 26.37) However, Matthew 17:1+2 mentions that only Peter, James and John were with Jesus for the transfiguration.

John was the son of Zebedee, a Galilean fisherman, and Salome. John and his brother James were among the first disciples called by Jesus.
Where does the Bible speak about Jesus' occupation?
A:Mark 6:3 says. "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon?" For the author of Matthew Jesus was a mortal with divine powers, but he was reluctant to call Jesus a village carpenter and only refers to Jesus as a carpenter's son. At Matthew 13:55, "Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?"The authors of Luke and John chose not to mention such a lowly occupation, even for Joseph.
What were the disciples doing when Jesus picked them?
Mostly the disciples were working at their various trades. Matthew was conducting his tax-collecting business when Jesus called him and James and John were fishing. We are not told in every case what the disciples were doing since the emphasis is on the call itself and on the one giving the call, and the response, not the occupation at the time of the person called.
