He touched us. “Get up. Don’t be afraid.” Then there was only Jesus.

Son of Thunder. Elder brother.
Zebedee’s son, John’s older brother. Fisherman until Jesus called us out of Dad’s boat. One of the Twelve. He calls us the Sons of Thunder, and we asked him for the best seats in his kingdom, so make of that what you will.

He said we didn’t know what we were asking. Asked if we could drink the cup he’s about to drink. We said we could. He said we will.

He asked if we could drink the cup he’s going to drink. We said yes.

We were in the other boat. Both boats sinking under the fish. We left everything that day.
A Samaritan village wouldn't have him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. John and I asked if he wanted us to call down fire from heaven and burn them up. He turned round and told us off.
Olive grove called Gethsemane. He took Peter, John and me further in. Said he’s so sad it feels like it could kill him. Asked us to stay and keep watch.

He went on a bit further and fell with his face on the ground. Asked his Father to take this cup away from him, if there’s any way. Then: not what I want. What you want.
