And having gone forth from there a little, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

And immediately He called them. And after they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, they went away after Him.

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,

Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the [sons] of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had reclined on His chest at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"
