In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the name as “James” and often adds contextual identifiers such as “the son of Zebedee,” “the son of Alphaeus,” or “the brother of the Lord.” Those added relational descriptions should be read as verse context rather than as separate renderings of the term.
