James. An English form of the Hebrew name Jacob. There are several persons of this name mentioned in the N.T. (1) Son of Zebedee, one of the Twelve, brother of John. His call is given in Matt. 4:21; Mark 1:19-20; and Luke 5:10. He was given the name Boanerges (Mark 3:17), and was one of the inner circle of three chosen to be with our Lord on certain special occasions: at the raising of the daughter of Jairus (Mark 5:37); at the Transfiguration (Matt. 17:1; Mark 9:2; Luke 9:28); and at Gethsemane (Matt. 26:37; Mark 14:33; see also Mark 10:30, 41; 13:3; Luke 8:51; 9:54). He was beheaded by Herod (Acts 12:2).

(2) Son of Alphaeus, also one of the Twelve (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13).

(3) Brother of the Lord (Gal. 1:19) and of Joses, Simon, Jude, and some sisters (Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3; Jude 1:1); known as James the Just. He occupied an important position in the Church of Jerusalem (Acts 12:17; 15:13; 21:18; Gal. 2:9-12; 1 Cor. 15:7), and was probably the writer of the Epistle of James.

(4) James, called "the Less," son of Mary and brother of Joses (Matt. 27:56; Mark 15:40; Luke 24:10). Nothing further is known of him, unless he is, as some think, the same as number 2 (above).

James and his brother were working with their father in the fishing business in 30 C.E. when Jesus called them, together with associate fishermen Peter and Andrew, to be his disciples and "fishers of men." In answering Jesus' call, James and John left a fishing business that was a partnership with Peter and Andrew and that was large enough to employ hired men

It depends upon which James you mean.

James, the brother of Jesus was not one of the original 12 disciples, but he did go on to become one of the leaders in the early Church and tradition has it that he took Christianity to Spain and is buried in Santiago de Compostela in the north west of the country. It is believed he wrote the letter of James in the New Testament.

James, son of Alpheus, was one of the 12 disciples but nothing e;se is known of him except a few myths that are not historical but merely traditional legends.

James the brother of John was little more than a teenager when he became a disciple of Jesus along with his brother John (the disciple who went on to become the closest to Jesus). They were sons of Zebedee, a fisherman. They were also described as ;'the sons of thunder', called as such because, no doubt, they were as beliegerent as any normal teenager. It is believed that James' brother John went on to write the Gospel bearing his name, the letters of John and the Revelation of John. John died in exile on the Greek island of Patmos. We do not know for certain what happened to James.

Where was James who was one of the disciples?

James the disciple was the brother of John. They were from Galilee. James, the author of the book of James, was not the disciple. He was the half-brother of Jesus. I say half-brother because they had the same mother, Mary. Joseph was the earthly father of Jesus, but God was His real Father. Joseph was the father of James.
