There are various traditions about the three men named “James” in the New Testament. Here is the tradition held by most Eastern Christians:
Some traditions call him the brother of the Apostle Matthew. He ministered in the areas around Jerusalem and was martyred in Egypt.
James and his brother John were sons of Zebedee and were some of the first called by Our Lord. This James ministered in Spain and Jerusalem and his witness converted many who tried to dispute him or cause his downfall.
He was the son of Joseph, who was a widower before marrying the Theotokos. He was not one of the Twelve Apostles, but was the first bishop of Jerusalem. This James composed a Divine Liturgy and the Epistle of James. He presided at the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15) and was martyred by being thrown from the pinnacle of the Temple and stoned.

“Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.” Our Lord teaches us how to love one another in today’s Gospel, taking us beyond our human understanding of only being good to those who do good to us. Monasticism and holy orders are special paths to give one’s life to all people. Is this something that God may have in store for your life?
