| | James the Just: Information From Answers.com |
| | James, a "pillar of the Church" according even to Paul, was the head of the Desposyni, the "heirs of Jesus". | | | Saint James the Just also called James Adelphos (יעקב "Holder of the heel; supplanter"; Standard Hebrew Yaʿaqov, Tiberian Hebrew Yaʿăqōḇ) (died AD 62) was the first bishop or patriarch of Jerusalem and first of the Seventy of Luke 10:1-20 according to Orthodox Christianity. | | | Eusebius of Caesarea reports the tradition that James the Just was the son of Joseph's brother Clopas, and therefore was of the "brethren" (which he interpretes as "cousin") of Jesus described in the New Testament. |
