(2) James the son of A lphseus. Both of these appear in all the lists of the Twelve A postles. (3) There is a James described as the son of a Mary and the brother of a Joses or Joseph (M att, xxvii. 56, Mark XV. 40), and a comparison of that passage with John xix. 25, defines this Mary as the wife of Clopas (not Cleophas as in the English Version) and possibly also (though the construction is not free from ambiguity) as the sister of our Lord smother. To his name is attached the epithet, not of the less as in the English version, as though it indicated difference in age or position, but of the little, as an It is not without a feeling of regret, that I adopt in this volume the fonn in which the historical associations of the name have entirely disappeared.
