Bible Question: Thanks Doc. That has been confusing. Also while I'm at it, wasn't James Jesus brother? I heard that James was also ther brother of Peter. If that's so, was Peter also Jesus brother. Was that the same Peter who betrayed Him? |
Bible Answer: athilla, Both James. Mary and Joseph were common names ... Matt 10:3 James the son of Alphaeus was another disciple of Christ. Luke 6:16 Judas (another disciple) was the son of James Matt 10:2 There is a James, whose bother is John, two of Christ's disciples, their father was Zebedee. James was killed by Herod (Acts 12:2) Matt 13:55 James was one of Jesus' brothers ... who is the James mentioned after James' death(Acts 12:2) ... and wrote the book of James. Matt 27:56 Mary was the mother of (another) James and Joseph I hope I cleared this up. Searcher |
