Jesus's brother was stoned to death , where in the bible can I find this?

Question

I have been searching everywhere, I can not find out where it says James the brother (or 1/2 brother) of Jesus was stoned to death. Can someone please help me? I need chapter and verse. Thank you a head of time.

MY goodness! Jesus was born of a virgin but she didn't stay that way. Having children was a big thing back then. The more you had the better. Especially if you had a son. It was a big deal. I am sure Mary and Joseph had more children, come on!
NOW Why would people call people names like moron, I ask a question. I am not a moron for doing that.
Matthew 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

oh and jaman I am not a mormon.

I know this much already, I just couldn't find it in the BIBLE. James, the brother of Jesus (not officially an apostle), the leader of the church in Jerusalem, was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a club. This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the temptation.

Thank You! Well Most of you.

Answer 1

There is no specific chapter or verse in the bible that describes the death of James, the brother of Christ. But, according to the Jewish historian Josephus, a high priest named Ananus, a Sadducee, was responsible for bringing James and others before the Sanhedrin and having them stoned to death. This event, Josephus writes, occurred after the death of the roman procurator Festus but before his successor Albinus arrived. If so, and if the sources placing the death of Festus at around 62 A.D. are correct, the event would have occurred sometime after that date.

P.S.: to the history girl, read Matthew 13:55-56. "Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers JAMES and Joseph and Simon and Judas? and his sisters, are they not all with us?..."

Answer 2

The Bible tells us that Jesus had four brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55). however we dont have a biblical account of James death you can find more info in the historical book
the complete works of josephus!

James The Brother Of Jesus mentioned by the historian Josephus ... He accused them of violating the law, and ordered that they should be put to death by stoning. .

Answer 3

Jesus's brother James is mentioned in the Bible but nothing is mentioned there about his death. As others have said, the Jewish historian Jesephus is the most often quoted ancient reference to this event.

As an aside, I am so happy that several people here have pointed out that Jesus did, in fact, have brothers and sisters.

Answer 4

That replace into over 2000 years in the past. a regulation for the beginning up of Gods chosen human beings. God Bless Ya, Chicago Bob imasinner there is extra excitement in Jesus in one day. Than there is interior the international 365/24/7 i know, i attempted them the two. Numbers 6:24-26

Answer 5

I love the girl who says "Geez, learn a little history!!" and proceeds to dispense the usual, totally historically groundless Christian apologist yarn that James wasn't the blood "brother" of Jesus, because that tends to suggest that Mary wasn't actually a virgin (unless we suppose that the Dove made repeat visits), etc.

But as others have said, it's not explicitly stated in the NT, although there are other scriptural references to Jesus' siblings (cf. Matt. 13:55-56). "Father K" supplies a decent cut and paste job on Jospehus' account of James, except that Josephus himself would've laughed at his own inclusion in the canon of Christian "Holy Tradition."

Answer 6

It's not in The Scriptures. Holy Tradition tells us that.

According to a passage in Josephus's Jewish Antiquities, (xx.9) "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James" met his death after the death of the procurator Porcius Festus, yet before Clodius Albinus took office (Antiquities 20,9) — which has thus been dated to 62. The High Priest Ananus ben Ananus took advantage of this lack of imperial oversight to assemble a Sanhedrin who condemned James "on the charge of breaking the law," then had him executed by stoning. Josephus reports that Ananus' act was widely viewed as little more than judicial murder, and offended a number of "those who were considered the most fair-minded people in the City, and strict in their observance of the Law," who went as far as meeting Albinus as he entered the province to petition him about the matter. In response, King Agrippa replaced Ananus with Jesus, the son of Damneus.

Though the passage in general is almost universally accepted as original to Josephus, some challenge the identificaton of the James whom Ananus had executed with James the Just, considering the words, "who was called Christ," a later interpolation. (See Josephus on Jesus.)

Eusebius, while quoting Josephus' account, also records otherwise lost passages from Hegesippus (see links below), and Clement of Alexandria (Historia Ecclesiae, 2.23). Hegesippus' account apparently varied from what Josephus reports: the Pharisees, upset at his teachings, first threw him from the summit of the Temple in Jerusalem, then stoned him, and at last broke his skull with a fuller's club. Hegesippus' account may have combined three varying accounts of James' death.

Vespasian's siege and capture of Jerusalem delayed the selection of Simeon of Jerusalem, to succeed James.

Answer 7

This was from the writings of Josephus - not included in the Bible.
This event, Josephus writes, occurred after the death of the Roman procurator Festus, but before his successor Albinus arrived. (Jewish Antiquities, XX, 197-203)

Answer 8

not to say I don't believe you. I've not seen the death of James the brother of Jesus mentioned. James the disciple was beheaded. That was in either Acts or Romans.

Answer 9

Acts tells of Herod Agrippa's execution of James, the brother of John (Acts 12:1-4). Could that be whom you're thinking of?

Answer 10

It isnt Biblical, since James was still alive when he wrote. But check out history in how the Apostles died. All but John died brutally.
