These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee;

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and the brothers James and John and led them up a high mountain where they were alone.

Then the wife of Zebedee came to Jesus with her two sons, bowed before him, and asked him for a favor.

"What do you want?" Jesus asked her. She answered, "Promise me that these two sons of mine will sit at your right and your left when you are King."

He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee. Grief and anguish came over him,

He went a little farther on and saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat getting their nets ready.

As soon as Jesus saw them, he called them; they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and went with Jesus.

James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee (Jesus gave them the name Boanerges, which means "Men of Thunder");

Then he did not let anyone else go on with him except Peter and James and his brother John.

The same was true of Simon's partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will be catching people."

They pulled the boats up on the beach, left everything, and followed Jesus.

Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael (the one from Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus were all together.

He had James, the brother of John, put to death by the sword.
