	Saint James the Less - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was a brother of the apostle Matthew and the son of Mary (whom Roman Catholics insist must not be confused with Mary, the mother of Jesus).
		He is also mentioned when his mother appears in Mark 15:40 (where he is labelled "less", "little" or "younger" depending on the translation) and Matthew 27:56; her marriage to Clopas is probably mentioned in John 19:25.
		Accordingly, the Markan identifier "The Less" may be interpreted as merely an expected Pauline criticism of the duly appointed leader of the Nazirite followers of Jesus with whom Paul was in direct conflict (see, for example, Galatians 2:12).

	Saint James the Less
		James and his younger brother Jude Thaddeus (who also became a saint) were first cousins of Christ and apparently the two closest blood relatives to later become His Apostles.

		James is the patron of the dying due to his deathbed forgiveness of his murderers.

		This James seems to be the James of the Epistle of James who opens the letter by calling himself "servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ," which may indicate it was an official Church title; James uses the tone of authority of one well known in the Church and accustomed to wielding authority.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. James the Less
		The James (5) of Jude 1:1 must certainly be identified with James (3), the brother of the Lord and the Bishop of Jerusalem.
		This identification requires the identity of Mary, the mother of James (Matthew 27:56; Mark 15:40), with Mary the wife of Cleophas (John 19:25), and, consequently, the identity of Alpheus (2) and Clopas (4).
		James was called to the Apostolate with his brother Jude; in all the four lists of the Apostles, he stands at the head of the third group (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. James the Greater
		James is styled "the Greater" to distinguish him from the Apostle James "the Less," who was probably shorter of stature.
		The Galilean origin of St. James in some degree explains the energy of temper and the vehemence of character which earned for him and St. John the name of Boanerges, "sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17); the Galilean race was religious, hardy, industrious, brave, and the strongest defender of the Jewish nation.
		James won the crown of martyrdom fourteen years after this prophecy, A.D. Herod Agrippa I, son of Aristobulus and grandson of Herod the Great, reigned at that time as "king" over a wider dominion than that of his grandfather.

	St. James the Less
		James, to distinguish him from the other apostle of the same name, the son of Zebedee, was called the Less; which appellation is supposed to have taken its rise, either from his having been called later to the apostleship than the former, or from the lowness of his stature, or from his youth.
		Jesus came with his brethren, and probably St. James among the rest, to settle in Capharnaum, at the beginning of his ministry.2 James and his brother Jude were called to the apostleship in the second year of Christ's preaching, soon after the Pasch, in the year 31.
		James governed that church in perpetual dangers, from the fury of the people and their violent persecutions; but his singular virtue procured him the veneration of the Jews themselves.
