Yeshua’s half brother James

James the Less or James the Great because neither one was a son of the Blessed Virgin Mary?

St. James was the brother of St. John and they were the sons of Zebedee and Salome.

"And going on from thence a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:" Mark 1:19

"And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:" Mark 3:17

"And James and John the sons of Zebedee, come to Him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us:" Mark 10:35

"And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joseph, and Salome:" Mark 15:40

"AND when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus." Mark 16:1

"And so were also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. And Jesus saith to Simon: Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men." Luke 5:10

Zebedee & Salome begat James (the great) and John

Cleophas-(Alphaeus) & Mary (the other Mary, Mt 27:56,61, 28:1, Jn 19:25) begat James (the less), Jo'ses, and Jude

James, the “Bishop of Jerusalem” was indeed the second son of Mary, who was no longer virgin after James was conceived.

Reading the gospels would be of great value to your edification.
