Sons of Zebedee

The Sons of Zebedee refer to two figures in the New Testament of the Bible: James and John, the sons of a fisherman named Zebedee. They were among Jesus' first disciples and are known for their passionate, zealous nature. Often considered close to Jesus, they witnessed significant events, such as the Transfiguration. Their story highlights themes of commitment and faith, and they are traditionally associated with leadership roles in the early Christian church. James is recognized as the first apostle to be martyred, while John is traditionally credited with writing the Gospel of John and other biblical texts.
