What Does The Bible Say About 'Sons of Thunder?'
“Sons of Thunder” was the nickname Jesus gave James and John, two of his first disciples. The nickname described the two brothers well. Fiercely loyal, they were the ones who wanted to burn up a city when the people refused to welcome Jesus.
“When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, ‘Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?’” Luke 9:54 (NIV)
They were also the ones who asked for seats of honor beside Jesus, right after He described the crucifixion that was awaiting Him in Jerusalem.
“Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. ‘Teacher,’ they said, ‘we want you to do for us whatever we ask. … Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.’” Mark 10:35, 37 (NIV)

But, these outspoken “sons of thunder” were also the ones invited into the inner circle of Jesus’ disciples. James and John, along with Peter, accompanied Jesus when He raised the little girl to life while everyone else was shut outside (Matthew 5:37-41). They were on the mountain when Jesus was transfigured (Matthew 17:1-2) and the ones Jesus took with Him when He wrestled in prayer the night of His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-34).
Ultimately, James was the first apostle martyred for his faith (Acts 12:2 NIV). John became known for his message of love, expressed best in the well-known Bible verse 1 John 4:16 (NIV):
“God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.”
The time that James and John spent with Jesus tempered their thunderous and rebellious spirits. Strong in faith, both these men became followers of Christ and were entrusted with God’s saving message for the world.
