The Twelve
James the Less
Apostles · 2 verses
Distinguished from James the son of Zebedee by the designation 'the Less' (possibly meaning younger or smaller in stature), this apostle receives little individual mention in Scripture. His faithful service despite obscurity exemplifies humble discipleship.
