JAMES & JOHN: SONS OF THUNDER<br />
According to tradition, <strong>John</strong> <strong>and</strong> the other Apostles remained some<br />
12 years in this first field of labor, until the persecution of Herod<br />
Agrippa I which led to the scattering of the Apostles through the<br />
various provinces of the Roman Empire. (ACt 12:1-17)<br />
As the first Apostolic Council was held in AD 51 to determine the<br />
procedure for the validation of the Gentile churches, Paul refers of<br />
Peter <strong>and</strong> <strong>James</strong> the brother of Jesus <strong>and</strong> <strong>John</strong> still in Jerusalem.<br />
(Gal 2:9)<br />
(Gal 2:9) "<strong>and</strong> when they perceived the grace that was given unto<br />
me, <strong>James</strong> <strong>and</strong> Cephas <strong>and</strong> <strong>John</strong>, they who were reputed to be<br />
pillars, gave to me <strong>and</strong> Barnabas the right h<strong>and</strong>s of fellowship, that<br />
we should go unto the Gentiles, <strong>and</strong> they unto the circumcision"<br />
