Best Answer

James (not the writer of the book of James) and John the disciple. They were also known as the 'Sons of Thunder.'

Answer/

John and James, the sons of Zebedee were chosen by Jesus Christ as He walked by the sea of Galilee - Matthew Ch.4. Jesus Christ chose John and James as his close companions along with Peter, and these three were strongest in faith, as Jesus chose them as witnesses for the transfiguration, observers of His healing, and participants when He went to pray, - New Testament.

In what order did Jesus find his apostles?

It may not be possible to identify the order in which all the apostles were called, but each gospel gives some information about who may have been among the first:In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee when he called the brothers, (1 and 2) Simon and Andrew. Afterwards he called (3 and 4) James and John, sons of Zebedee, and subsequently (5) Matthew. After this all twelve are listed.Similarly, in Mark's Gospel, Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee when he called the brothers, (1 and 2) Simon and Andrew, and soon afterwards (3 and 4) James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were mending their nets. The next disciple was (5) Levi, whom some regard as the same person as Matthew in Matthew's Gospel. In chapter 3, Jesus chose twelve disciples of all those who followed him.In Luke's Gospel, Jesus met (1) Simon Peter in a house in Capernaum, where he healed Peter's mother-in-law. Later, he saw Simon Peter with (2) James and (3) John, sons of Zebedee, on fishing boats together, but does not seem to have called them. The next disciple was (4) Levi. In Luke chapter 6, Jesus was on a mountain when he chose twelve of those who were with him, to be his apostles. This is the only mention in Luke's Gospel of Andrew.In John's Gospel, Jesus had returned to the place of his baptism, traditionally by the River Jordan, when John the Baptist pointed him out to two of his disciples, one of whom was (1) Andrew. The disciples followed Jesus and later Andrew called his brother, (2) Peter, to follow Jesus. The next disciple was (3) Philip, then (4) Nathaniel.

Which two disciples had their mother ask Jesus for the right to the throne in the kingdom?

Matthew 20:20, 21 - Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom."[NKJV]Zebedee's sons were James and John (Matthew 4:21). It's not entirely clear if the two disciples "had their mother ask Jesus" on their behalf, or if she, thinking they were deserving of such honor, took it upon herself to make the request.
