james
   1. the son of zebedee and salome; an elder brother of john the
   apostle. he was one of the twelve. he was by trade a fisherman,
   in partnership with peter matt. 20:20; 27:56. with john and
   peter he was present at the transfiguration matt. 17:1; mark
   9:2, at the raising of jairus's daughter mark 5:37-43, and in
   the garden with our lord 14:33. because, probably, of their
   boldness and energy, he and john were called boanerges, i.e.,
   "sons of thunder." he was the first martyr among the apostles,
   having been beheaded by king herod agrippa acts 12:1, 2, a.d.
   44. comp. matt. 4:21; 20:20-23.
   
     2. the son of alphaeus, or cleopas, "the brother" or near
   kinsman or cousin of our lord gal. 1:18, 19, called james "the
   less," or "the little," probably because he was of low stature.
   he is mentioned along with the other apostles matt. 10:3; mark
   3:18; luke 6:15. he had a separate interview with our lord
   after his resurrection 1 cor. 15:7, and is mentioned as one of
   the apostles of the circumcision acts 1:13. he appears to have
   occupied the position of head of the church at jerusalem, where
   he presided at the council held to consider the case of the
   gentiles acts 12:17; 15:13-29: 21:18-24. this james was the
   author of the epistle which bears his name.
