It would be this second Mary, who is named “his mother’s sister” of which we are referring to. Anyway, it is interesting to think about. Perhaps different from Jesus, in a way, was that John was known to be a little bit heated at times. In thinking about John, we probably don’t think of him being like this, but rather we likely see him as a meek and mild man, likely pretty chill and calm, and full of love. But, we understand that Jesus names James and John as “Sons of Thunder” (see Mark 3:17). And, consider this next verse. Luke 9:54: “And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” Our minds had probably deleted John from that episode. Now, when we read the Gospel of John, we can note that John himself is not mentioned by name. Actually, we will note rather that he refers to himself as ‘The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved.’
