James - 2

Witness Transfiguration:

Matthew 17:1-9 

1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 

2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 

3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 

7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” 

8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

Martyred by Herod Agrippa:

Acts 12:2 

He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.

Son of Alphaeus; one of the Twelve:

Matthew 10:3-4 

3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 

4 Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Called “the less”:

Mark 15:40 

Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

Jesus’ half-brother:

Matthew 13:55-56

55 “Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 

56 Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”

Galatians 1:19 

I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord's brother.
