"disciples of John the Baptist. Jesus then called Peter, Andrew and these two sons of Zebedee to follow him. James and John are listed among the Twelve Apostles. Jesus referred to the pair as ""Boanerges"" (translated ""sons of thunder""); although their nature was calm and gentle, when their patience was pushed to its limits their anger became wild and thunderous causing them to speak out like an untamed storm.

"Henry James Sr. Henry James Sr. (June 3, 1811 in Albany, New YorkDecember 18, 1882 in Boston, Massachusetts) was an American theologian and adherent of Swedenborgianism, also known for being the father of the philosopher William James, novelist Henry James, and diarist Alice James. James was born on June 3, 1811 in Albany, New York. He was one of twelve children born to Catharine (née Barbara) James and William James (1771–1832), an emigrant from Bailieborough, County Cavan, Ireland to the United States around 1789, who amassed a fortune of about $1.2 million from business dealings in upstate New York State,"

From the 2nd century to the 5th writers tried to explain how Jesus could be simultaneously the ""son of God"" and the ""son of Joseph"". The first to offer a solution was the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James, written about 150 AD."

"Mary is mentioned as the mother of a James and of a Joseph in the Gospel of Matthew and in the Gospel of Mark: Roman Catholic interpretation generally holds that James, the younger is the same James mentioned in Mark 16:1 and Matthew 27:56 and it is to be identified with James, the son of Alphaeus and James, the brother of Jesus. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, he is not, however, identified with James the Great, although this is disputed by some. Jerome believed that the ""brothers"" of the Lord were Jesus' cousins, thus amplifying the doctrine of perpetual virginity."

The Pauline epistles make no reference to Jesus' father; nor does the Gospel of Mark. The first appearance of Joseph is in the gospels of Matthew and Luke.

"Apocalypse of James associated with James's name mentions many details, some of which may reflect early traditions: he is said to have authority over the twelve apostles and the early church; claims that James and Jesus are not biological brothers; this work also adds, somewhat puzzlingly, that James left Jerusalem and fled to Pella, Jordan before the Roman siege of that city in 70.
