Saint Philip and Saint James

<p>Philip and James were apostles of Jesus. The choice of Philip as a disciple is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke. John's Gospel records several conversations between Jesus and Philip which show that he was present throughout the Lord's public ministry.</p>
<p>James the son of Alphaeus (called 'James the Less' because he was younger than the other apostle James) is mentioned in Mark and in Acts, and is the author of the canonical epistle. Historians write that he was a Christian of high repute and died a martyr's death by stoning about the year 62.©2011 <em>Living with Christ, </em>Novalis - Bayard Press Canada Inc., <strong>http://www.livingwithchrist.ca/</strong&gt;.
