The Twelve Apostles
1Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness. 2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;… Mt 10:2

The mother of James the younger or lesser is given in Matthew 27:56 and Mark 15:40. This is the other Mary and not the mother of Jesus.

And of course there is the famous passage where the mother of James and John asks Jesus for special favors for her sons. Reading the parallel verses of the crucifixion in Matthew and Mark we see that in one she is named Salome and in the other the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
