James, the Brother of Jesus, was the first Bishop of Jerusalem.  Even the Jewish historian Josephus tells us that James, the brother of Jesus, was tried and executed in the year A.D. 62 in Jerusalem.  Simeon, the second Bishop, is noted by historians as a close relative of Jesus and James.  Simeon was bishop at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem AD 70 and may have gone with most of the Christians to Pella. About the year 106 or 107 he was crucified under Trajan.

Post 2061. Can you address it or not? I pulled every single instance where "James" is referenced in the New Testament. I want to get to the bottom of this. Which of the Jameses mentioned in Scripture are James the "brother of the Lord" and when does he become an Apostle? (And what did he do with James the Lesser?)
