This occurs in Mark 15:40 , and the same person is called simply James in Matthew 27:56; Mark 16:1; Luke 24:10 . He is only mentioned to point out his mother, whose name was Mary. James and Joses were common names and are found also among the brethren of the Lord. But James the Less may be, as some think, the same person as James the son of Alphaeus.
