* DisproportionateRetribution: While throwing rocks and [[SpitefulSpit spitting at people]] is a serious offense, it doesn't exactly warrant [[KillItWithFire being burned up by fire from Heaven]]. John and Big James clearly realize this when Jesus bemusedly questions them about it.
* FlashForward: John interviewing the other disciples and the other followers after Big James's execution in Literature/ActsOfTheApostles.
* HandyMan: Jesus left the crowds in Samaria to help fix a man's wagon axle.
* HotBlooded: James and John are given the nickname "the Sons of Thunder" after trying to get Jesus to smite some Samaritans they (almost) got in a fight with.
* HumblePie: John and Big James express a superior attitude toward the Samaritans. Following a brief altercation with some Samaritans, Jesus serves the brothers a good helping of the trope with a firm but earnest rebuke.
* KillItWithFire: John and Big James entreat Jesus to rain down fire on the Samaritans for their disrespect towards them.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Jesus outright tells John and Big James that they're not any better than the Samaritans, hence why [[TheRedeemer he]]'s come.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: John asks Mary Magdalene to describe her first meeting with Jesus, and she says he held her hand, then tells him that it isn't what it sounds like.
--> '''Mary Magdalene:''' Maybe leave that part out, people will get confused.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Jesus doesn't hesitate to chastise Big James and John for their prejudice and egos. But he also forgives them when [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone they express regret for their behavior]] and resolve to do better. He even ribs the pair a little for wanting to [[KillItWithFire rain down fire on the Samaritans]].
* SpitefulSpit: This from a Samaritan triggers the incident that gave Big James and John the nickname "the Sons of Thunder".
* TemptingFate: After the opening flash forward, Big James and John are plowing a field in Samaria. They consider themselves lucky that they don't have to spend a night with the Samaritans and discuss numerous unpleasant tasks they'd rather do instead. Later, they learn that the field they plowed and planted is owned by a Samaritan, and that Jesus and his disciples are sharing dinner with the Samaritan's family.
* WhatTheHellHero: Jesus calls out John and Big James for their prejudice towards the Samaritans. The two brothers recognize their error and contritely pledge to do better.

These people that you hate so much are believing in me without even seeing miracles. It's the message, the truth, that we're giving them.
