Matthew 4:21 YahShua [jogs] further. He sees other two [more] brothers: James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn. They [work] in a ship with their father Zebedee [Giver], mending their nets. YahShua calls James & JAHn.
Matthew 4:22 [At YahShua's call,] James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn immediately [jump off] the ship. They leave their father [behind]. They [run down the beach,] following YahShua.
Leave your home, leave your job.
Matthew 10:2 These are the names of [YahShua's] 12 apostles: 1st: Simon {Listener} (called Peter {Rock}), Rock's brother (Andrew {Manly}), James {Heel-Grabber} (son of Zebedee [Giver]) and JAHn (James' brother);
Yahshua sends his disciples out in pairs, for accountability and companionship.
Matthew 10:3 —Philip {Horse-Lover} & Bartholomew {Son-Of-The-Ridge}, Thomas {Twin} & MattithYahu {Yah's-Gift} the tax-collector; James {Heel-Grabber} (son of Alphaeus {Change}) & Thaddaeus;
lit. Lebbaeus, surnamed Thaddaeus;
Matthew 13:55 The Nazarenes ask, “Isn't this [YahShua Josephson,] the son of [our local] carpenter? Isn't [YahShua's] Mom called Mary [the Rebel]? And aren't [YahShua's] brothers [named]: James {Heel-Grabber}, Joseph {Increaser}, Simon {Listener} and Judah {Celebrated}?
Mary evidently copulated with Joseph at least 4 times. She birthed many children. Mary, though blessed above all women, apparently did not long remain a virgin.
Yahshua Transfigures w/ Moses & Elijah
Matthew 17:1 6 days later, YahShua takes Peter {Rock} and (the brothers) James & JAHn. [YahShua] privately leads them up onto a high mountain.
Matthew 17:2 [Right] in front of Peter {Rock}, James {Heel-Grabber}, & JAHn, YahShua changes form! He transfigures, 😇! YahShua's face shines like the sun. His clothing flashes white as [pure] light.
Matthew 17:3 Suddenly, (in front of Peter {Rock}, James {Heel-Grabber}, & JAHn,) Moses & EliJah appear! [They] talk with YahShua [like they're old buddies, 😇]!
Matthew 17:6 When the disciples [Peter, James & JAHn] hear [YAH's] voice, they fall on their faces, 😇. [They shake], terrified.
Wettin' their 1st century shorts.
Matthew 17:7 YahShua comes and touches [Peter, James & JAHn]. [YahShua laughs,] “Get up. Stop being afraid.”
Matthew 17:8 [Peter, James & JAHn] lift up their eyes. They see no one but YahShua.
Matthew 17:9 As [YahShua, Peter, James & JAHn] hike down from the mountain, YahShua orders them, “Tell no one about the vision [you just saw,] until [I] (the ‘Son of Adam’) rise from the dead.”
James & John's Mom Grabs For Eternal Rank
Matthew 20:20 Then Zebedee's wife, the mother of [James & JAHn,] approaches YahShua, [flanked by] her sons. She bows down, begging a favor from YahShua.
Matthew 20:21 YahShua asks the [sickeningly ambitious] mother, “What do you want?” [The presumptuous Mom] answers YahShua, “Grant that these my two sons [James & JAHn] will sit [on thrones], one on your right hand, and the other on your left hand, in your kingdom.”
She's asking for the highest places of honor in the Kingdom of the Universe. This lady had some balls.
Matthew 20:22 YahShua answers [this presumptuous] Mom [and her brats], “You don't realize what you're asking. Are you able to “drink from the cup” [of death] that I'll “drink” from? [Can you survive] drowning in the “baptism” [of torture] in which I'll soon be immersed?” [In a ridiculous delusion of self-grandeur, James & JAHn foolishly] answer [YahShua], “We can do it!”
Matthew 20:23 YahShua answers James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn, "[Someday] you will indeed ‘drink from my cup’, and be engulfed in the ‘baptism’ in which I'll be ‘immersed.’ [Religious & governmental hypocrites will murder you.] But to sit [on thrones] at my right hand, and at my left, that's not for me to grant. [YHVH] my Father has prepared [the highest thrones] to give the [holy ones he chooses].”
YHVH and Jesus are two individual beings. They're interconnected yet distinct. Like a son and a father. Like a man and a wife.
The Greatest Leader Is The Greatest Servant
Matthew 20:24 When the 10 other disciples hear [that James & JAHn are secretly running for the top seats in heaven], the 10 [boil over in] outrage against James & JAHn.
Matthew 26:37 YahShua takes with him Peter {Rock} and [James & JAHn,] the two sons of Zebedee [Giver]. Then YahShua plunges into agonizing sorrow & distress, 😇.
Matthew 26:38 Then YahShua says to [Peter, James & JAHn,] “My soul [heart] lies so filled with sadness I could die [of grief]. Remain here. Stay awake with me.”
Matthew 27:56 These [devoted] women include Mary Magdalene, and Mary (the mother of James {Heel-Grabber} & Joseph {Increaser}), and [YahShua's aunt,] the mother of Zebedee's sons (James & JAHn).
Matthew 27:56
Mark 1:19 YahShua [jogs] a little further [along the lake-shore]. He sees 2 men (James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn, sons of [a man named] Zebedee [Giver]) in a boat mending their nets.
James is another way of saying ‘Jacob’ aka ‘Israel’. John means ‘favored one of YHVH‘. Zebedee means ‘clothing’, or ‘gift’. So Yahshua is calling Israel, the people he favors, to leave behind the provisions and gifts of the world, then to follow him into a life of danger and difficulty. He's calling the fashion-boys to leave the shopping mall and enter the adventure.
Mark 1:20 Immediately, 😇, YahShua calls James & JAHn. They leave their father Zebedee [Giver] in the ship with the hired workers. [James & JAHn splash through the waves to the shore. They run down the beach] after YahShua.
Two more guys leave their worldly jobs to herald YAH's good news. See the pattern?
Yahshua Heals Simon-Peter's Sick Mom
Mark 1:29 [YahShua, James & JAHn] leave the synagogue. They travel right over to the house of Simon {Listener} & Andrew {Manly}.
Mark 3:17 2 sons of Zebedee [Giver] [also become apostles]: James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn. YahShua renames these [fashion-boys] “Boanerges”, which means “Sons of thunder.”
Fashion boys become thunder men.
Mark 3:18 [Others of the 12 disciples include:] Andrew {Manly} & Philip {Horse-Lover}, Bartholomew {Son-Of-The-Ridge} & MattithYahu {Yah's-Gift}, Thomas {Twin} & James {Heel-Grabber} (the son of Alphaeus {Change}), and Thaddaeus & Simon {Listener} the [Patriot] Zealot.
Mark 5:37 YahShua lets no one follow him, except Peter {Rock}, and (the brothers) James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn.
Keep doubters away if you want to do miracles. Many faithless people work in churches.
Mark 5:40 The mourners laugh YahShua to scorn, 😇. YahShua puts all the mourners outside. Then YahShua takes the father & mother of the [“dead”] girl plus Peter {Rock}, James {Heel-Grabber}, & JAHn. [They] walk into [the bedroom] where the girl lies.
Get rid of the unbelievers before you do a miracle. They ridiculed Jesus. They'll ridicule you and me.
Mark 6:3 —Isn't this [just YahShua] the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James {Heel-Grabber}, Jose, Juda and Simon {Listener}? Aren’t YahShua's sisters here with us?” The synagogue's congregants scandalize YahShua.
Jesus may have done some carpentry. But he wasn't just a carpenter.
Mark 9:2 Six days later, YahShua privately takes Peter {Rock}, James {Heel-Grabber}, and JAHn. He leads them up a high mountain, 😇. There YahShua transfigures! [He changes form.]
Mark 9:8 Suddenly Peter {Rock}, James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn look around, 😇. [They] see only YahShua.
Mark 9:9 YahShua hikes [Peter, James and JAHn] down from the mountain. [YahShua] orders them to tell no man [about having seen Moses and EliYah, hearing YAH's voice, and seeing YahShua shine], until [he,] the “Son of Adam,” rises from the dead.
Mark 9:10 [Peter, James & JAHn] keep the [transfiguration episode] a secret, 😇. But they keep debating with one another what “rising from the dead” means.
John The Baptist = The New Prophet EliJah
Mark 9:11 [Peter, James and JAHn] ask YahShua, “Why do the scribal [law-teachers] say that EliJah must return before the Messiah [comes to earth]?”
Religionists Hassle The Messiah's Disciples
Mark 9:14 YahShua [and Peter, James & JAHn] reunite with their fellow disciples. [Just then] a great crowd throngs to watch [a brigade of snake-tongued] religious-Law experts interrogate [YahShua's disciples].
James & John Vie For Eternal Power
Mark 10:35 James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn (the sons of Zavdai) approach YahShua. They say, “Master, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”
(Zavdai means ‘clothing / gifts.’)
Mark 10:36 YahShua [shows supernatural patience] by asking James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Mark 10:37 James & JAHn answer YahShua, “Grant to us that we come to sit [enthroned,] one on your right hand, and the other on your left hand, in your glorious [eternal Kingdom].”
The fashion boys are clueless, but they've got b@lls.
Mark 10:38 YahShua answers [James & JAHn], “You [punks] don't know what you're asking! Can you drink from the cup [of death] that I'm drinking? [Can you withstand] immersion in the baptism [of torture] which [YAH calls] me to undergo?”
Mark 10:39 James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn [dumbly] answer YahShua, “[Sure] we can.” YahShua answers them, “The ‘cup’ [of death] that I drink, you eventually drink. And the ‘baptism’ [of torture] I'm being immersed in, you soon undergo.
Jesus Forbids You From Using Worldly Power
Mark 10:41 Soon the other 10 disciples hear [about James' & JAHn's clueless and arrogant power-grab, 😇]. So they [boil over in] outrage at James and JAHn.
Mark 13:4 Peter {Rock}, James {Heel-Grabber}, JAHn & Andrew {Manly} privately ask YahShua, “Tell us [the answers to 2 questions: Question# 1:] When will [Jerusalem's temple fall]? And [Question #2:] What [event] will signify the end of the [age of Satan's & man's collusion to dominate planet earth]?”
2 questions.
Mark 14:33 YahShua takes with him Peter {Rock}, James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn. Great distress and anguish flood over YahShua.
Mark 14:34 YahShua [groans] to [Peter, James & JAHn], “My soul lies [crushed] with grief to the point of death. Remain here. Stay awake!”
Disciples Lower Christ's Corpse From The Pole
Mark 15:40 Some women look on from a distance: among them Mary Magdalene, and Mary (the mother of Jose and James {Heel-Grabber} (the younger)), and Shalomah.
Women Go To Yahshua's Already Empty Tomb
Mark 16:1 [Day 5 ('Thursday', the special Passover Sabbath) passes. Then Day 6 ('Friday') passes. Then Day 7 ('Saturday,’) the normal weekly] Sabbath ends at sundown. [Thus YahShua spends his 3 FULL days and 3 FULL nights dead in the tomb. On Saturday night, which Hebrews count as the beginning of workday one,] Mary Magdalene, and Mary (the mother of James {Heel-Grabber}) and Shalomah rush out [of their hiding place]. They purchase sweet [burial] spices to embalm YahShua's body.
3 FULL days and nights in the tomb. (Strict Hebrews, please forgive our using the world's weekday names, named in honor of the pagan gods, but they're the only weekday names that most English-speakers know.)
Luke 5:10 Simon's [fishing buddies,] James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn (the sons of Zebedee [Giver]) [stand slack-jawed, 😇. They gasp, amazed at the boat-sinking tonnage of fish]. YahShua says to Simon {Listener}, “Never fear. From now on you'll catch men.”
See Fishers Of Men song.
Luke 6:14
  1. Simon {Listener} (whom YahShua re-names Peter {Rock}), & his brother Andrew {Manly},
  2. James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn,
  3. Philip {Horse-Lover} & Bartholomew {Son-Of-The-Ridge},
    True believers go out in pairs, for companionship and accountability.
  4. MattithYahu {Yah's-Gift} & Thomas {Twin},
  5. James {Heel-Grabber} (son of Alphaeus {Change}) & Simon {Listener} (the ‘Zealot’);
  6. —lastly Judah (the brother of James {Heel-Grabber}) & [the bad] Judas, (the traitor) from Keriot.

There was a good Judah and a bad Judah. They symbolize the righteous people of YAH vs. the Synagogue of Satan who falsely claim to be Jews.
Luke 8:51 YahShua enters the house, 😇. He lets no one else enter except Peter {Rock}, James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn, and the father & mother of the [‘dead’] girl.
You have to kick out the unbelieving bystanders if you want to do miracles.
YahShua Shape-Shifts, Talks W/ Moses & Elijah
Luke 9:28 About 8 days pass, 😇. YahShua takes Peter {Rock} and JAHn & James {Heel-Grabber}. The [3 men] climb a mountain to pray.
Luke 9:32 Peter {Rock} and [James & JAHn startle] awake from deep sleep, 😇. They see YahShua [bathed in dazzling] splendor, standing beside [Moses & EliYah].
Luke 9:34 As Peter {Rock} bleats his [stupid suggestion about building church-buildings], a cloud [descends, 😇]. It overshadows the [3] disciples [Peter, James & JAHn. They shake with] terror as the cloud envelops them.
Luke 9:36 [YAH's] voice speaks. Then [Moses & EliJah vanish, leaving] YahShua alone [with Peter, James & JAHn]. These [3] disciples keep the event secret, 😇. They wait a long time before telling anyone about [Moses & EliJah and the voice and the cloud on the mountain].
Luke 9:54 YahShua's disciples (James {Heel-Grabber} & JAHn) experience the [cruelty of the Samaritans kicking the Messiah and his best men out of town]. So [James & JAHn] ask [YahShua], “Master, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven to consume the [ingrates], like EliJah [did]?”
Luke 9:55 YahShua spins [around]. He rebukes [James & JAHn for wanting to use YAH's power to revenge-kill].
Some manuscripts continue: ‘[No!] You don't know what kind of [wicked] spirit[s] you have [inside you]’.
Luke 24:10 (The women who tell these things to the apostles are [named]: Mary Magdalene, Joanna [JAHohannon], Mary (the mother of James {Heel-Grabber}) among other women.)
Acts 1:13 The [apostles sneak] into Jerusalem. [They crawl] up into an upstairs room [at a house] where all the [disciples hide] hunkered-down: Peter {Rock}, James {Heel-Grabber}, JAHn, Andrew {Manly}, Philip {Horse-Lover}, Thomas {Twin}, Bartholomew {Son-Of-The-Ridge}, Matthew {YAH's-Gift}, James {Heel-Grabber} (the son of Alphaeus {Change}), Simon {Listener} (the Zealot) and Judah {Celebrated} (the brother of James).
They're not just staying in the house. They're laying low (katameno), trying not to get murdered by the same assassins who'd just killed their master.
Acts 12:2 [False-king] Herod kills JAHn's brother James {Heel-Grabber} with the sword, 😇!
Probably because James refused to swear an oath of allegiance to the ‘king.’ Romans 13 must be tempered with the understanding that many times people who are considered to be ‘rulers’ are actually terrors to good people, and therefore not true rulers at all. If you had a ‘measuring stick’ (a ruler) with all of the marks in the wrong places, you wouldn't call it a ‘ruler.’ You'd call it a piece of junk. Same with human rulers. If the rules they lay down aren't the Bible's rules, their rules are trash, and their rulership is bogus. Worm-crotch Herod is the perfect example of a bogus, authority-less ‘non-ruler.’
Acts 12:3 [Pedophile-king] Herod sees that killing James {Heel-Grabber} pleased the Jews. So (during the Feast of Unleavened Bread) Herod proceeds to seize Peter {Rock}.
Acts 12:17 Peter motions with his hand for the believers to be quiet. Then he declares to them how Adonai brought him out of the prison, and how the angel said, “Go show these things to James {Heel-Grabber}, and to the [other] brothers,” and how the angel then [vanished].
Acts 15:13 Paul and Barnabas {Prophet-Child} finish [talking, 😇]. James {Heel-Grabber} speaks up: ‘Brothers, listen to me.
A true believers' meeting is a discussion, not a sermon.
Acts 21:18 The next day Paul and the rest of us travel [incognito] to see [the apostle] James {Heel-Grabber}. All the [Christian] elders gather around [in a secret meeting], 😇.
Acts 21:19 Paul greets (James {Heel-Grabber} and the [other Christian] elders). Then [Paul] reports in detail everything [YHVH] the Eloah accomplished among the beast-nations through [Paul's trans-national globe-trotting evangelistic] efforts.
Acts 21:20 James {Heel-Grabber} and the elders hear [Paul's report]. They glorify Adonai [YHVH]. [They] exclaim, “Brother Paul, look how many thousands of Jews now believe [that YahShua is YAH's Messiah]! And they're all zealous for [YAH's] Law!
We must believe in Yahshua AND zealously guard the Law of Moses.
1st Corinthians 15:7 Then James {Heel-Grabber} saw YahShua. Then all [YahShua's original] apostles saw him.
Galatians 1:19 The only other [original] apostle I saw was James {Heel-Grabber}, Master [YahShua's blood] brother.
Yahshua had a physical blood-brother presumably fathered by Joseph and the ex-virgin Mary.
Galatians 2:9 James {Heel-Grabber}, Peter {Rock} and JAHn are considered to be ‘pillars [of the faith].’ They recognized the favor YAH gave me. They extended their ‘right hands of fellowship’ to me and Barnabas {Prophet-Child}. [Peter, James & John] agreed that [Barnabas and I] should go [herald YAH's truth] to the heathen [nations], while they [herald the same truth] to the ‘circumcised’ [Judaeans].
The apostles divided the labor. No one was restricted to ministering to only one set of people.
Galatians 2:10 The only thing James {Heel-Grabber}, Peter {Rock} and JAHn suggested was that we [missionaries] remember to help poor [people]. And I've certainly been eager to do that, 😇.
Galatians 2:12 There with me in Antioch, Peter {Rock} ate with the Gentile believers, who [rightly] don't bother with [penile] circumcision. But later some Jewish friends of James {Heel-Grabber} showed up. So Peter {Rock} stopped eating with the beast-nationals. [Peter] was afraid that the [visiting Jewish] legalists might criticize [him].
Paul comes right out in public. He avoids talking behind Peter's back. He rebukes his brother in love in front of witnesses, for the good of all. Yahshua did say to first talk to the brother in private, which hopefully Paul had done. Also, some people question the propriety of publicizing Peter's issues. But we trust that Peter wouldn't mind, because this story benefits us all. Peter's dirtiest laundry had already been aired for all to read in the gospels. (Yahshua called Peter ‘Adversary.’ And later Peter denied Yahshua 3 times!)
James Explains Why You Have To Suffer In Life
James 1:1 Hello brothers, [fellow members] of [spiritual Israel's] ‘12 tribes’ scattered among the Beast-Nations. [This letter is] from me: James {Heel-Grabber}. [I'm] a servant of YHVH and of [my blood-brother] Master YahShua, [YAH's] Messiah.
The first-century Jewish historian Josephus mentions the stoning of ‘James, the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ.’ (See ‘The Jewish Antiquities’ by Josephus, Book XX, sec. 200.) ‘12 tribes’ signifies not the literal 12 genetic tribes descended from the ancient sons of Jacob/Israel, but a code-word for the Ekklesia (spiritual Israel).
James 2:18 [You hear false believers] claim they have [true saving] faith, while I, [James, merely] have works-righteousness. [Ha!] 😇, show me your [supposed] faith that does no work. I show you my faith by my Ergon {Energetic-Actions}.
War-state murderer Martin Luther wanted the book of James struck from the Bible because of verses like this. Lutherans still wrongly class the Epistle of James as ‘Antilegomena’ (of disputed authority). Luther wrongly inserted [saved by faith] ‘alone’ in Rom. 3:28, thus criminally dragging Paul into trumped-up conflict with James. Luther foolishly deemed it impossible to harmonize the two apostles. Luther maligned James as an ‘epistle of straw,’ devoid of evangelical character (‘keine evangelische Art’). See Philip Schaff's ‘History of the Reformation’. The controversy persists today. Try to get a Protestant to cooperate with you in gospel Ergon (toil), and the Protestant will lecture you about ‘salvation by grace’. What Luther's Protestant minions fail to grasp is that good-deeds flow from salvation like breathing flows from life. If you're not breathing, you're physically dead. if you're not doing good actions, you're spiritually dead. Yet we can't take credit for breathing, nor for righteous acts.
2nd Peter 1:18 James {Heel-Grabber}, JAHn and I heard [YAH's angel's] voice [echo down] from heaven when we [stood trembling] beside YahShua on the holy mountain.
... ’when I made the embarrassing suggestion that Christians ought to build dedicated church buildings, a bad idea, which YHVH immediately shut down.’
Jude Writes Encouragement To You
Jude 1:1 😇, I Jude [Y’hudah] am writing this letter [to you. I'm a] servant of YahShua, [YAH's] Messiah. I'm [a] brother of [YahShua's blood-brother] James {Heel-Grabber}. I'm writing to [you believers] whom YHVH the Father calls, sanctifies and preserves. [You are living organs inside the political body of] YahShua, [YAH's] Messiah.
