Topic: Alphaeus



  
 Glossary
Efforts to connect Clopas, and therefore Alphaeus and his sons, with the family of Jesus, are based on the inference that only three women are named in John 19:25 (cf.
The attempts to relate Alphaeus the father of James with Alphaeus the father of Levi rest on the insufficient manuscript evidence referred to above and late tradition which asserts that both Matthew and James had been tax collectors (Chrysostom).
One of the disciples at Emmaus, Lk 24:18; the name is probably the same as Clopas (jn 19:25), and Alphaeus (Mk 3:18 and parallels) may be used as a Greek equivalent; but any identification of the characters is merely conjectural.

 Zebedee and Alphaeus, Fathers of Spirit: Christian Archetypes for Tarot Key IV The Emperor(c) Cheryl Lynne Bradley 2002
There is also very little information available regarding Alphaeus, although it is possible that he is one of the two disciples with whom Jesus spoke on the road to Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem, on the day of the resurrection (Luke 24:18).
Zebedee is not mentioned again in the Bible after his sons have been called to be with Jesus.
The Hebrew form of Alphaeus is Cleopas or Clopas, abbreviations of the name Cleopatros.

 Mark 2:14 As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus
And when he went by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and he said to him, Come with me. And he got up, and went with him.
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the'son of Alphaeus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.

 Jesus' father was called Alphaeus by some of the Gospel writers.
The reason for this hiding of my name from the readers of the New Testament was to prevent the identity of the father who had no faith in Jesus at the crucifixion, but you must have absolute faith in what he tells you is the truth.
Yes, I am Joseph, father of Jesus, and I was called Alphaeus by some writers of the Gospel.
Jesus' father was called Alphaeus by some of the Gospel writers.

 First Lutheran Church & School - Elkhorn, WI
We may not have been hand picked by Jesus to be one of his twelve apostles but in holy Baptism God did hand pick us to live as one of Jesus&; children and as members of his Holy Christian Church and his Communion of Saints.
You will think about James son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus, the two disciples of Jesus who in many ways are unknown to us but who are known and precious to Jesus.
James son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus about whom we know very little were not happy at first when little children were brought to Jesus.

 Did Jesus have half-brothers and sisters? - at BibleStudy.org
If Alphaeus was the brother of Mary and the son of Heli with the second Mary as his wife who produced James, Joses, Judas, and Simon, then these would be cousins of Jesus and the word brethren or brothers could be used to identify them as close kinsmen of Jesus.
And if Alphaeus is a place rather than a father's name it might explain why Levi/Matthew and James may come from the same place rather than the same father.
Matthew or Levi was also the son of Alphaeus according to Mark 2:14.

 JESUS INVITES SINNERS TO FOLLOW HIM AND EATS WITH THEM
Levi Alphaeus' son has been in Herod's service, but henceforth he will also be in Jesus' service, at the invitation of the King himself: "Follow me!" says the King.
Levi Alphaeus' son was going to follow Jesus the Messiah no matter what his family said.
Of course in those days Jesus Christ was located in a certain place - at a beach, in a house, on a mount, in the desert, and you could literally follow him to that spot.

 Roman Catholicism
James the disciple of Christ is the son of Alphaeus, which is an alternate rendering of Cleopas, and, because James the brother of John was "James the Greater", James the son of Alphaeus (or Cleopas) was "James the Less", as mentioned in Mark 15:40.
James the son of Alphaeus (Luke 6:15) could not be one of Jesus' brethren of Matthew 13:55, as these brethren did not believe on Him (John 7:5).
BUT if he be James the son of Alphaeus, he CANNOT be the James of Matthew 13:55, one of the brethren of Jesus.

 Chapter8
James, the son of Alphaeus, should not be confused with James, the son of Zebedee, and the brother of John (Matthew 10:2).
James, the son of Alphaeus, should not be confused with James, the brother of the Lord, and the author of the book of James (see Galatians 1:19; Matthew 13:55).
James, the brother of the Lord, is mentioned often on the pages of the New Testament, and we will study this man in Chapter 11 of these notes.

 The Hindu : Dawn of grace
Early the next morning, he woke to the footsteps of two men who, with fear and excitement, brushed past saying: "Jesus is alive." Alphaeus leapt for joy.
Jesus said to him,"Go your way; your faith has made you well." From that moment on, Alphaeus began to see.
Not wasting a moment, Alphaeus with all his strength shouted: "Jesus, have mercy on me."

 The Brethren of the Lord by J.B. Lightfoot
Wieseler Ueber die Bruder, etc., According to this writer the James of Galatians 2:9 and of the Acts is the son of Alphaeus, not the Lord's brother, and therefore different from the James of 1:19.
The Twelve Apostles after disputing severally with Caiaphas give an account of their conference to James the chief of Bishops; while James the son of Alphaeus is distinctly mentioned among the Twelve as one of the disputants (i.59).
If an Apostle, he must be identified with the son of Alphaeus, for the son of Zebedee was no longer living: if not an Apostle, then there were three persons bearing this name.

 Bible study: I have come to call sinners
I too was impressed that Matthew being son to Alphaeus brought together 4 brothers as disciples (James, Simon and Jude) and the commentary mentions that Joses came near to being named an Apostle when the lot fell on Matthias...
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
And of course these were related to Jesus because Alphaeus was husband to Mary's sister...

 Luigi Cascioli - La Favola di Cristo
James son of Alphaeus, Judas brother of James or Thaddaeus, Bartholomew, Matthew and Simon Zelotes are missing.
The church declares that Jesus' apostles all came from Galilee except for Judas Iscariot who it states came from Judea.
The differences in these lists of the apostles lead us to make two considerations, one of a religious nature and the other of a historical nature.

 Cleophas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The author of the Fourth Gospel's Maria he tou Klopa is perfectly ambiguous, whether "Mary of Klopas" is daughter or wife.
For this reading, it is essential to demonstrate that "Klopas" is an Aramaic form of the Greek name "Alphaeus," as in the Catholic Encyclopedia quote above.
The Roman Catholic Church recognizes a Saint Mary of Cleophas or Clopas; thus the question of whether or not this Mary, mother of a James, is a phantom duplication of Mary the mother of James the brother of Jesus, may not be asked by good Catholics.

 Mustard Seed Thoughts : James, Son of Alphaeus : ChristWeb.com
I have searched and searched, and other than the same listing of disciples in the other gospels, I can't find this James anywhere else.
You can count on it, and we'll find out when we get to Heaven, that Jesus had a specific purpose for James, son of Alphaeus.
Doesn't it give you and I hope that God would call a no-name disciple?

 Apostles of the New Testament
James and Judas (son of Alphaeus) and perhaps Matthew were brothers (Mark 2:14, Luke 6:16, Acts 1:13).
A third Jude was the brother of James and Jesus, who wrote the book of Jude.
Simon Zelotes was said to be a brother of James and Judas according to tradition.

 Essays on James
The remaining five are unclear, however (4) James the son of Alphaeus (one of the Twelve), (5) James the less, son of Mary and Clophas, (6) James the brother of Joses/Joseph, (7) James, the father of Judas (one of the Twelve Luke 6:16), and finally (8) James the brother of Jesus.
The first three are generally not in dispute by scholars; (1) Jacob the patriarch for the Hebrew Bible, (2) Jacob the father of Joseph (husband of Mary, Matthew 1:16), and (3) James the son of Zebedee, brother of John the fisherman.
One may question the Judas son of James aspect of the theory and it is accounted for by suggesting Clophas/Alphaeus's name was James.

 Biography: Philip and James, Apostles (1 May NT)
However, it should be noted that the most natural understanding of "Judas of James" is "Judas son of James," and that there is therefore no reason to suppose that James the son of Alphaeus has a brother named Jude.
James the Less: James the son of Alphaeus (Alpheus) appears on lists of the Twelve Apostles (usually in the ninth place), but is never mentioned otherwise.
The Epistle of James is addressed to Jewish readers, and James the Just (3) seems to have been particularly concerned with the Jewish Christian community.

 Did Jesus exist?
Five men named James appear in the New Testament: the brother of Jesus, the son of Zebedee, the son of Alphaeus, "James the younger" and the father of the Apostle Jude.
Little is known of the last three, and since the son of Zebedee was martyred in A.D. 44, tradition has leaned toward the brother of Jesus.

 James and John
Notice it doesn't say James the son of Alphaeus and Judas his brother, like it says of James and John in Matt 10:2-4.
The other James is the son of Alphaeus.
So we wonder who could this third James be, that is the brother of the apostle Judas.
http://cnview.com/bible_study/james_and_john.htm

  
 James
That James Alphæus is a brother of the apostles Judas Lebbæus and Simon Zelotes is absolutely excluded by the way in which they are named together, to be distinguished from other brothers who are alluded to in the same way.
Moreover, nowhere in the New Testament is James the brother of the Lord called James Alphaeus, and nowhere is the word brother used in a sense of distant relationship.
They could not therefore have been stepbrothers of Jesus, sons of a former wife of Joseph or of a former husband of Mary, or foster-children of Mary (thus J. Lange); and just as little only cousins of Jesus and identical with the apostles James Alphæus, Judas Lebbaeus, and Simon Zelotes.
