Read the gospel of St. Mark, 3:17, and you’ll find the quote “James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John (to them, Jesus gave the name ‘Boanerges’, which means Sons of Thunder.”

It’s not clear why they got this nickname, but there are a few gospel passages in which James and John are rebuked by Jesus for telling him he should rain down fire and lightning on some unbelieving town. So, I guess they were excitable guys!
