About St. John of Zebedee
In the Christian New Testament - Mark 1 19 [ 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.]
Mark as a Secondary Source: The Gospel of Mark is likely written about c. AD 66–70. Critical consensus views the author as knowing very little about the geography of Palestine and being unacquainted with Jewish customs - so probably a Hellenized Jew who lived outside of Palestine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_the_Evangelist
In the Christian New Testament - Matthew 4:21 [Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.]
In the Christian New Testament -Matthew 20:20-28 [20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.]
Matthew as a Secondary Source: The current scholarly view is that it was written in the last quarter of the first century by an anonymous Jew familiar with technical legal aspects of scripture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Matthew
