The brothers of Jesus or the adelphoi (Greek: ἀδελφοί, translit. adelphoí, lit. "of the same womb") [1][2][Notes 1] are named in the New Testament as James, Joses (a form of Joseph), Simon, Jude, [3] and unnamed sisters are mentioned in Mark and Matthew. [4] They may have been: (1) the sons of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Joseph, (2 ...
James the Just, or a variation of James, brother of the Lord (Latin: Iacobus from Hebrew: יעקב, Ya'aqov and Greek: Ἰάκωβος, Iákōbos, can also be Anglicized as " Jacob "), was a "brother" of Jesus, according to the New Testament. He was the first leader of the Jerusalem Church of the Apostolic Age.

According to the New Testament, he was a fisherman and one of the Twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus. The title First-Called (Πρωτόκλητος, Prōtoklētos) stems from the Gospel of John, where Andrew, initially a disciple of John the Baptist, follows Jesus and, recognizing him as the Messiah, introduces his brother Simon Peter to him.

Mark the Evangelist is the earliest known source in the Bible to mention "James, son of Alphaeus" as one of the twelve Apostles.
