John, the writer of this epistle and of the gospel which bears his name, was the son of Zebedee a fisher, who had a boat and nets and hired servants, Mark i. 20., and followed his occupation on the sea of Galilee. - From Matt, xxvii.55, compared with Mark xv. 40., it appears that the name of Zebedee's wife was Salome; for in the former of these passages, she is called the mother of Zebedee's children, who in the latter is named Salome. - Zebedee had another son whose name was James, and who seems to have been elder than John. Both of them were fishers like their father, and assisted him in his business till they were called to follow Jesus. - They seem all to have lived in one family in the town of Bethsaida, which being situated near the sea of Galilee, was a convenient station for fishers.
