James

James and his brother John were fishermen mending their nets when Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the ship to follow Him. Jesus named the brothers Boanerges, "The sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). James was one of only three disciples Jesus let into Jairus' house. Later King Herod "killed James the brother of John with the sword" (Acts 12:2).

And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
