James the Just, or a variation of James, brother of the Lord (Latin: Iacomus from Hebrew: ????? Ya'akov and Greek: ????ß?? Iákobos, can also be Anglicized as "Jacob"), was a brother of Jesus, according to the New Testament. He was an early leader of the Jerusalem Church of the Apostolic Age. He died as a martyr in AD 62 or 69.
Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, as well as some Anglicans and Lutherans, teach that James, along with others named in the New Testament as "brothers"[note 1] of Jesus, were not the biological children of Mary, but were possibly cousins of Jesus,[4] or half-brothers from a previous marriage of Joseph (as related in the Gospel of James).
Roman tradition holds that this James is to be identified with James, son of Alphaeus, and James the Less. It is agreed by most that he should not be confused with James, son of Zebedee
Accordingly, the scribes and Pharisees
... threw down the just man... [and] began to stone him: for he was not killed by the fall; but he turned, and kneeled down, and said: "I beseech thee, Lord God our Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
And, while they were there, stoning him to death, one of the priests, the sons of Rechab, the son of Rechabim, to whom testimony is borne by Jeremiah the prophet, began to cry aloud, saying: "Cease, what do ye? The just man is praying for us." But one among them, one of the fullers, took the staff with which he was accustomed to wring out the garments he dyed, and hurled it at the head of the just man.
And so he suffered martyrdom; and they buried him on the spot, and the pillar erected to his memory still remains, close by the temple. This man was a true witness to both Jews and Greeks that Jesus is the Christ. And shortly after Vespasian besieged Judaea, taking them captive.

A more compelling reason for believing that these are Mary's children is that Joseph's firstborn son from his first wife would have been the heir to the Davidic throne instead of Jesus.
Son of Joseph and Mary, and half brother of Jesus. (Mark 6:3; Matt 13:55\endash 56) He was an apostle (Gal 1:19; 1 Cor. 15:7). He was also known as James the Just. It was evidently this James who was an overseer of the Christian congregation at Jerusalem (Acts 12:17), and who wrote the Bible book bearing his name. (James 1:1) He may have been next to Jesus in age, being the first named of Mary's four natural-born sons: James, and Joses, and Juda, and Simon (Mark 6:3; Matt 13:55). Paul implies in his letter to the Corinthians, written about the year 55 C.E., that James was married (1 Cor 9:5).

Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And......
