An unknown James, father of the apostle Judas (or Jude): Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13, according to the opinion of those interpreters who think that not ἀδελφόν but υἱόν must be supplied in the phrase Ιουδαν Ἰακώβου; see Ἰούδας, 8. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name יַעֲקֹב (Ya'akov), which is transliterated as Jacob. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek name Ἰάκωβος corresponds to the Hebrew name יַעֲקֹב (Ya'akov), which is Strong's Hebrew entry 3290. This name is famously associated with the patriarch Jacob, the son of Isaac and the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. Usage: The name Ἰάκωβος appears in the New Testament to refer to multiple figures, including: • James, the son of Zebedee, one of the twelve apostles. • James, the son of Alphaeus, another of the twelve apostles. • James, the brother of Jesus, a leader in the early Jerusalem church. • James, the father of Judas (not Iscariot). Context: The name Ἰάκωβος is significant in the New Testament, associated with key figures in the early Christian church. • James, the son of Zebedee: Often referred to as James the Greater, he was one of the first disciples called by Jesus and was part of Jesus' inner circle, along with Peter and John. He is noted for his zeal and was martyred by Herod Agrippa I, as recorded in Acts 12:2: "He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword." • James, the son of Alphaeus: Known as James the Less, he is one of the twelve apostles. Little is detailed about his life in the New Testament, but he is listed among the apostles in passages such as Matthew 10:3. • James, the brother of Jesus: Also known as James the Just, he became a prominent leader in the Jerusalem church. He is traditionally credited with writing the Epistle of James. His leadership is evident in Acts 15:13, where he plays a crucial role in the Jerusalem Council: "When they had finished speaking, James declared, 'Brothers, listen to me.'" • James, the father of Judas (not Iscariot): Mentioned in Luke 6:16, this James is identified as the father of another apostle, Judas (not Iscariot). The name James is thus associated with leadership, martyrdom, and the foundational period of the Christian church. Each James played a distinct role in the spread of the Gospel and the establishment of early Christian communities.
