Question
I cant seem to find any information on the wife of Zebedee and I would like to know her relationship with Jesus and/or some Bible references where she is mentioned
Thank you for your time and knowledge

Answer
Hello Bella;

Not a whole lot on her in the Bible.  Passages mentioning the wife of Zebedee, Zebedee and their sons, the Apostles James & John:

Matthew 4:21; 10:2; 17:1; 20:20-28; Mark 5:37; 9:2; 10:2 & 35-45; 14:33; Acts 12:2.

The Catholic tradition has a lot of tradition on her that I don't find in my Bible.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

Expertise

I can answer questions on issues about evolution and creationism. I can answer questions on how the Bible applies to every day life and the future of mankind. I have some understanding of spiritual warfare. If I don`t know the answer to your question, I`m not going to try and pretend that I do. But every answer a questioner receives from any person, expert here or anywhere else, must be weighed against what the Bible says and laid before God in prayer. Spiritual issues are too important to just accept what a person tells you without confirmation from the Bible and the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who gives a person wisdom. He will give peace regarding how to handle any issue or teaching if it is correct.

Experience

I am a life long student of the Bible and have tested its teachings under fire and found them solid.

Education/Credentials
I have a Bachelor's degree in English and Art Education. I am a mother, and I think that is an educational qualification of itself.
