Thunder Children

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Children of Thunder (Sons of Thunder, Boanerges, Hebrew בני רעם"Sons of Thunder") is the name given to the Zebedee sons Jacobus Major and John in the New Testament . Jesus of Nazareth calls these two apostles that ( Mk 3.17  EU : Vnehargem ), either because of their strong fiery zeal (see Lk 9.54  EU ; cf. Rev 6.10  EU ; Mk 9.38  EU ) or because of their powerful shocking speech that would penetrate the heart like thunder (see Ps 68,34  EU ; cf. Rev 10,3  EU ).
