It appears in the work of Justin Martyr. Justin was one of the early Christian writers called the Apostolic Fathers. He lived from 100-160 AD only one hundred years after the death of Jesus. A convert to the church, he wrote various works defending the Christian faith. One of the details he recorded is this:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #888888;\"><p>\u201cIt is said that he [Jesus] changed the name of one of the apostles to Peter; and it is written in his memoirs that he changed the names of others, two brothers, the sons of Zebedee, to Boanerges, which means \u2018sons of thunder\u2019\u2026.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">What are Peter\u2019s \u201cmemoirs\u201d? We know it isn\u2019t the Gospel of Peter\u2013which is a later apocryphal gospel that was written long after Justin Martyr died. The early tradition of the church was that John Mark was the companion, translator and scribe for Peter, and that Mark\u2019s gospel is based on the memories of Peter himself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Read the whole article <a href=\"http:\/\/catholicexchange.com\/st-james-thundering-witness-truth\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is my latest article for Catholic Exchange.
