The Bible has many stories including pairs of brothers, starting with Cain and Abel. Many of these pairs, like the first, were contentious and were involved in fights over who was most loved. Think of Ishmael and Isaac, Jacob and Esau. Another pair, Moab and Benammi were born in shame and their descendants were perpetual enemies of Israel.


In the Gospels two pairs of brother are among the disciples: the fishermen Peter and Andrew and the pair you hear of in this week's reading. Who are the two brothers - whose nicknames indicate they were not quiet, retiring types - we meet in Mark chapter 10?

A) Simon and Andrew

B) Simon and Garfunkel

C) Castor and Pollux

D) James and John
