In The Bible who was Alphaeus?
A:Mark's Gospel describes Alphaeus as the father of two of the twelve apostles, Levi and James. This would seem to meant that Levi and James were brothers, although not described as such. In fact, the only references to Levi are here in Mark 2:14 and the corresponding verse (5:27) in Luke's Gospel, which Luke elaborates slightly by adding a passage in which Jesus is criticised for consorting with publicans (tax collectors). However, Matthew's Gospel, although dependent on Mark for this information, refers to another disciple, Matthew, as the former tax collector, so that it has become accepted by Christians that Matthew and Levi were one and the same person, although none of the gospels links Matthew with either Alphaeus or James. An interesting theological discussion has consequently arisen as to whether there were two fathers known as Alphaeus, improbable as that would be.
In the Bible who is the father of Matthew?
Alphaeus, surname Levi (Mark 2:14, Luke 5:27).
Were Matthew and James the Less brothers?
A:The original New Testament gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, refers to Levi, son of Alphaeus, as a tax collector. However, for some reason, Mark never again refers to Levi, but introduces Matthew and James, son of Alphaeus, as disciples in the list of the twelve disciples (verse 3:14-19). Since Levi and James are both sons of Alphaeus, it would seem that they must have been brothers. John is described as the brother of James, son of Zebedee, in the list in which the disciples are introduced, but Matthew is not described either as the son of Alphaeus or as the brother of this James. There is therefore no reason to believe that the author of Mark was portraying Matthew as either the tax collector or as the brother of James, son of Alphaeus. Because Mark does not refer to Levi again, this causes a possible problem for the authors of the other New Testament gospels that are now known to have been derived from Mark's Gospel. Luke more or less faithfully copies Mark, using the name Levi in the corresponding place, as the former tax collector, while John makes no mention of him. The author of the gospel now known as Matthew's Gospel tried to resolve the difficulty by placing the disciple Matthew in the position of the tax collector whom Jesus called to follow him. Because of this usage in Matthew, it has become accepted by Christians that Matthew and Levi were one and the same person. Although Matthew's Gospel does not say so, this could mean that Matthew was a son of Alphaeus and that James was his brother.
Is apostle thomas and James twin brother?
The Apostles James (also called James the Greater) and John were both sons of Zebedee. James the Less (the other James) was also an apostle and was a son of Alphaeus. Some say James (also called James the Just) was the half-brother of Jesus (or cousin) or a son of Joseph and Mary, Jesus' mother.

What is the difference between James of Zebedee and James the son of Alphaeus?
I am assuming you are asking what is the "difference" between these two, of the three men by the name of James, mentioned in the New Testament. In the book of Acts, chapter 1, verse 13, both James son of Zebedee and James son of Alphaeus are refered to as two of twelve deciples. Many accounts throughout the Gospels make it clear, as do their names, that they were two different men. they are for sure two totally different people

Was cleopas one of Jesus's followers?
This question has been discussed by Bible scholars since the first century AD. The Bible is not definitive on this topic. Perhaps the two best modern discussions are given in the Catholic Encyclopedia and in a book by C. P. Thiede. Among those proposed are Matthias, Luke, Symeon, and Mary, the wife of Clopas, mentioned in John 19:25. In this writer's opinion, the most satisfactory answer is that Cleopas and Clopas are the same person and the other person is Mary, his wife.
