Zebedee
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
Father of the apostles James and John, and husband of Salome; a native of Galilee and a fisherman by calling (Matthew 4:21, 27:56; Mark 15:40). It seems from the mention of his boat and hired servants (ib. 1:20) that Zebedee was a man of some means, although he had to work himself.
