Dictionary Summary:A Galilean fisherman, the husband of Salome (q.v.), and the father of James and John, two of our Lord’s disciples ([Matt. 4:21](/matt#Matt.4.21); [27:56](/matt#Matt.27.56); [Mark 15:40](/mark#Mark.15.40)). He seems to have been a man of some position in Capernaum, for he had two boats ([Luke 5:4](/luke#Luke.5.4)) and “hired servants” ([Mark 1:20](/mark#Mark.1.20)) of his own. No mention is made of him after the call of his two sons by Jesus. 2
