James was one of the more prominent Apostles of Jesus, and probably the first Apostle to be martyred. The beheading of James by Herod Agrippa I is recorded in the Acts of the Apostles of the New Testament, and occurred between A.D. 41 and 44, only about ten years after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.

James was a son of Zebedee and the brother of another Apostle, John. Both were given the nickname "sons of thunder." They came from a wealthy family, as demonstrated by a reference in Mark to how their family had hired servants.

James was present when Jesus resurrected Jarius' daughter, when Jesus underwent a transfiguration, and when Jesus went through His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. James (and his brother John) made the mistake of seeking authority over others, which earned him a rebuke from Jesus.
