Tissot, James, The calling of Peter and Andrew. The calling of the disciples is a key episode in the life of Jesus in the New Testament. [2] [3] It appears in Matthew 4:18–22, Mark 1:16-20 and Luke 5:1–11 on the Sea of Galilee. John 1:35–51 reports the first encounter with two of the disciples a little earlier in the presence of John the ...
Throughout the Gospel John and James are described as the "sons of Zebedee" and in Matthew 8:14, when the disciples visit Peter's family. [1] This verse is quite similar to Mark 1:20, except that in that verse the adverb immediately is used to modify Jesus' calling of the pair, not their
Like Simon and Andrew, James and John are fishers: see Matthew 4:18 for a discussion of fishing on the Sea of Galilee.

[22] [23] Also according to some traditions, Salome was the sister of Mary, Jesus' mother, [23] [24] making Salome Jesus' aunt, and her sons John the Apostle and James were Jesus' cousins. [25] John the Apostle is traditionally believed to be one of two disciples (the other being Andrew) recounted in John 1:35–39, who upon hearing the Baptist ...
