Oh

Jesus the Christ, the Son of God,

and James and John

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.-Luke 9:51-56***James, John and their father Zebedee were fishermen. Simon Peter was a fisherman in business with James and John. Simon Peter, James and John became disciples of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, over 40 days after Jesus was baptized. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy  Bible reveal that Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world, and testified that Jesus is the Son of God. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including James, John, Simon Per, and Simon Peter's brother Andrew, to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Jesus chose James, John, Simon Peter, Andrew and 8 other disciples and named them apostles, and gave the 12 disciples and apostles the ability to cast out demons, heal the ill, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, and preach a message about the kingdom of heaven to their fellow Israelites. James, John and Simon Peter were the disciples and apostles most constantly with Jesus, and Jesus gave new names to each of them. Jesus said that Simon was Peter/Cephas, defined as a stone, a rock. Jesus called James and John "Boanerges," defined as Sons of Thunder. When Jesus wanted to have accommodations in  Samaria while he was journeying towards Jerusalem, Jesus found himself unwelcome. Samaria was a place inhabited by people with  mixed blood and mixed religions. James and John  spoke to Jesus and mentioned Elijah the prophet. Over 800 years earlier, King Ahab  reigned in Samaria over the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. During Ahab's 22-year reign, Elijah told Ahab to tell the Israelites and the false prophets to gather at Mount Carmel.  Upon Mount Carmel, Elijah proclaimed a challenge that involved the Lord God, fire, and the false prophets. Several years thereafter, Elijah requested that fire come from heaven and burn 2 different military units sent to take him to King Ahaziah, Ahab's son and successor. Over 800 years Ahab's son Jehoram (Joram) became the 9th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, Jesus the Christ was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-2:18, 17:1-41, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24,  Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Reference Scripture:
When  Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?-Matthew 16:13
