There are several James in the New Testament. Matthew 4:13-4:21 describes Jesus being in Capernum by the Sea of Galilee when he chose James, son of Zebedee, and John his brother, as disciples.
James and John were fishermen when Jesus called them to be his disciples.
Yes Jesus had several brothers they were called James, Jude, and Simon, he had a sister called Salome as well.
That James was not his brother.
James called himself a "servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ."
No, James and Jesus are separate historical figures. Jesus is a central figure in Christianity, believed to be the Son of God, while James was one of Jesus' brothers mentioned in the Bible.
Yes. We are told that John the disciple (not John the baptist!) had a brother called James, who were both sons of a fisherman called Zebedee. Both John and James were disciples of Jesus, and were typical beligerent teenage boys - they were called, in fact, the 'Sons of Thunder'.
yes , james was born after jesus .
They were half brothers James and Jude.
what did James the greater do before Jesus came to him
Most would say no but some same yes.Traditionally James the Less (son of Alphaeus) was different than James the brother of Jesus (also called James the Just and the bishop of the church in Jerusalem) who is described as the author of the book of James.Critics argue that James the brother of Jesus (James the Just) was also James the Less. James was a very common name at the time (as it is today) so it can be confusing which James is described in the Bible.In fact, there is also James, son of Zebedee, who is brother to John and called James the Greater to distinguish him from the other two.
Jesus had 12 Apostles. One of his Apostles was James. Many contemporaries refer to James as "the brother of the Lord." Perhaps James was Jesus's brother.
Yes James the follower of Jesus was a jew.
