James, Brother of Jesus (יַעֲקֹב, ya'aqov; Ἰάκωβος, Iakōbos, Ἰακώβ, Iakōb). The leader of the Jerusalem church in the the middle of the first century ad, a participant in the Jerusalem council, most likely saw the risen Jesus, and was highly esteemed by Jewish Christians of the second century ad and beyond. In early church writings, at times he is referred to as James “the Just” because of his piety and reverence for the law (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History 2.23.1–25).
