James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, He gave them the names Boanerges, which is, "Sons of Thunder";

And He did not permit anyone to follow along with Him except for Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up into a high mountain alone by themselves. And He was transfigured before them,

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, "Teacher, we desire that You to do for us whatever we may ask."

And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be greatly amazed, and deeply depressed.

And having gone forth from there, He saw two other brothers, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And He called them.

And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying; both Peter and James and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

And he put to death James the brother of John with the sword.
