ZEBEDEE

(Gk. Zebedaíos)

A Galilean fisherman and father of the apostles James and John. Zebedee may have been wealthy since he employed fishermen and owned a boat (Mark 1:19-20). The departure of his two sons exemplifies the breaking of familial ties found in Jesus’ teachings (Mark 10:29 par.; Matt. 10:37; Luke 14:26). Zebedee reappears only in references to his sons and to their mother, Salome (Matt. 27:56; cf. Mark 15:40), who requested that Jesus allow James and John to sit at his right and left in his kingdom (Matt. 20:20-21).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
