A fisherman of Galilee; father of James and John. In easy circumstances, for he owned a boat and hired servants (Mat_4:21; Mar_1:20). Salome his wife ministered to Jesus (Mat_27:55-56; Mar_15:40-41). His disinterestedness and favorable disposition towards Christ appear in his allowing without objection his sons to leave him at Christ's call; Zebedee ("gift of Jehovah") is equivalent in meaning to John (gift or favor of Jehovah); the father naturally giving his son a name similar in meaning to his own. John's acquaintance with Annas the high priest implies the good social position of the family.
In Mat_4:21, at the call of James and John, Zebedee was alive; at Mat_20:20 the peculiar phrase "the mother of Zebedee's children" implies Zebedee was no longer alive, for otherwise she would be called the wife of Zebedee or the mother of James and John. In Mat_8:21 the disciple's request, "Lord, suffer me first to go (home) and (wait until the death of, and) bury my father," may possibly refer to Zebedee; for the name "disciple" was given to but few, and a boat contained all the disciples Mat_9:37; Mat_8:23). If so, it will be an undesigned coincidence marking genuineness (Blunt, Undesigned Coincidences, Part 4).

Zeb'edee. (my gift). (Greek form of Zabdi). A fisherman of Galilee, the father of the apostles, James the Great and John, Mat_4:21, and the husband of Salome. Mat_27:56; Mar_15:40. He probably lived either at Bethsaida or in its immediate neighborhood.
It has been inferred from the mention of his "hired servants," Mar_1:20, and from the acquaintance between the apostle John and Annas, the high priest, Joh_18:15, that the family of Zebedee were in easy circumstances, compare Joh_19:27, although not above manual labor. Mat_4:21. He appears only twice in the Gospel narrative, namely, in Mat_4:21-22; Mar_1:19-20 where he is seen in his boat with his two sons mending their nets.

zeb?ḗ-dē (זבדּי, zibhdı̄, ?the gift of God?; Ζεβεδαῖος, Zebedaı́os): The father of the apostles James and John (Mar_1:19) and a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee (Mar_1:20), the husband of Salome (Mat_27:56; compare Mar_16:1). See JAMES, SON OF ZEBEDEE; SALOME.

Zeb?edee (Jehovah's gift), husband of Salome, and father of the apostles James and John (Mat_10:2; Mat_20:20; Mat_26:37; Mat_27:56; Mar_3:17; Mar_10:35; Joh_21:2). He was the owner of a fishing boat on the Lake of Gennesaret, and, with his sons, followed the business of a fisherman. He was present, mending the nets with them, when Jesus called James and John to follow him (Mat_4:21; Mar_1:19; Luk_5:10); and as he offered no obstacle to their obedience, but remained alone without murmuring in the vessel, it is supposed that he had been previously a disciple of John the Baptist, and, as such, knew Jesus to be the Messiah. At any rate, he must have known this from his sons, who were certainly disciples of the Baptist. It is very doubtful whether Zebedee and his sons were of that very abject condition of life which is usually ascribed to them. They seem to have been in good circumstances, and were certainly not poor. Zebedee was the owner of a 'ship,' or fishing smack, as we should call it?and, perhaps, of more than one; he had laborers under him (Mar_1:20); his wife was one of those pious women whom the Lord allowed 'to minister unto him of their substance;' and the fact that Jesus recommended his mother to the care of John, implies that he had the means of providing for her; while a still further proof that Zebedee's family was not altogether mean, may be found, perhaps, in the fact, that John was personally known to the high-priest (Joh_18:16).
