He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.

Now the names of the twelve Apostles were these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zabdi, and his brother John;

Then the mother of the sons of Zabdi came to Him with her sons, and knelt before Him to make a request of Him.

And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zabdi. Then He began to be full of anguish and distress,

among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.

Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.

They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.

James the son of Zabdi and John the brother of James (these two He surnamed Boanerges, that is 'Sons of Thunder')

Then James and John, the sons of Zabdi, came up to Him and said, "Rabbi, we wish you would grant us whatever request we make of you."

and so were Simon's partners James and John, the sons of Zabdi.)

Simon Peter was with Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zabdi, and two others of the Master's disciples.
