Zebedee

Zebedee was the Father of the disciples James and John, also known a Zabdia. We know nothing more than that he was a fisherman sufficiently well-to-do to have hired servants of his own. He was thus in more prosperous circumstances than his partner Jonas, the father of Peter and Andrew.

The wife of Zebedee was Salome, sister of the virgin Mary. Their sons James and John were thus first cousins of our Lord according to the flesh. The fact that she was one of those who ministered to the Lord of her substance, and also bought large stores of spices for His grave, are additional signs that Zabdia and his wife were not poor.
[330]

The Lord has given Christians the grace to reconcile the children to their Fathers
