Question: The first disciples to follow Jesus are shown as John and Andrew. But where did James brother of John vanish and there is no record in the Bible that these two followed the Baptist. Surely Philip and Bartholomew also are involved at this point or shouldn't the whole scene have started with Peter and then moved back to Andrew and the two boys of Zebedee? The assembling of the Apostles doesn't follow biblical accounts at all and a juvenile John is very much set apart from any brother.
