# James (son of Zebedee)
|
||
|
||
## Facts:
|
||
|
||
James, a son of Zebedee, was one of Jesus’ twelve apostles. He had a younger brother named John who was also one of Jesus’ apostles.
|
||
|
||
* James and his brother John worked by fishing with their father Zebedee.
|
||
* James and John were nicknamed the “Sons of Thunder,” perhaps because they got angry quickly.
|
||
* Peter, James, and John were Jesus’ closest disciples and were with him for amazing events such as when Jesus was on a mountaintop with Elijah and Moses and when Jesus caused a dead little girl to come back to life.
|
||
* This is a different James than the one who wrote a book in the Bible. Some languages may have to write their names differently to make it clear that they were two different men.
