The James River, a tributary of the Missouri River. Syn: James River. [ WordNet 1. 5] James ( 1.) The son of Zebedee and Salome; an elder brother of John the apostle. He was one of the twelve. He was by trade a fisherman, in partnership with Peter ( Matt. 20: 20; 27: 56). With John and Peter he was present at the transfiguration ( Matt. 17: 1; Mark 9: 2), at the raising of Jairus' s daughter ( Mark 5: 37- 43), and in the garden with our Lord ( 14: 33). Because, probably, of their boldness and energy, he and John were called Boanerges, i. e., " sons of thunder." He was the first martyr among the apostles, having been beheaded by King Herod Agrippa ( Acts 12: 1, 2), A. D. 44. ( Comp. Matt. 4: 21; 20: 20- 23). ( 2.) The son of Alphaeus, or Cleopas, " the brother" or near kinsman or cousin of our Lord ( Gal. 1: 18, 19), called James " the Less," or " the Little," probably because he was of low stature. He is mentioned along with the other apostles ( Matt. 10: 3; Mark 3: 18; Luke 6: 15). He had a separate interview with our Lord after his resurrection ( 1 Cor. 15: 7), and is mentioned as one of the apostles of the circumcision ( Acts 1: 13). He appears to have occupied the position of head of the Church at Jerusalem, where he presided at the council held to consider the case of the Gentiles ( Acts 12: 17; 15: 13- 29: 21: 18- 24). This James was the author of the epistle which bears his name.
