James son of Zebedee was a follower of Jesus of Nazareth, one of the Twelve Apostles.

History

Little is known about this disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. According to the Gospel of Mark and Matthew he was the son of Zebedee and the brother of John. He figures in some gospel narratives and in all lists of the Twelve. Acts reports his execution by decapitation under Herod Agrippa around 41-44.

James is traditionally called James the Elder to distinguish him from James the Minor (=James son of Alphaeus), and James the brother of Jesus.
