James ジェイムズ

意味:この名前はへブル語の יַעֲקֹב (Ya’aqov)から採られました。ヤコブと同じように、「代替者」の意味を持つと考えられています。(詳細はJacobジェイコブの項参照)新約聖書の、ジェイムズ(ヤコブ)は、イエスの十二使徒のひとりで、使徒ヨハネの兄弟です。ヤコブとヨハネとペテロはイエスの姿が変貌したとき同行して見分を許された、ただ三人の弟子たちのうちのひとりです。マルコによる福音書には、イエスが彼らをボアネルゲつまり雷の子と呼んだとあります。パウロはこの三人をガラテヤ人への手紙の中で、教会の柱と考えていることを記しています。

(他に)イエスにもヤコブと呼ばれる兄弟がいたことが新約聖書に書いてあります。
