• Luke was a companion to Paul, and writer of the .

• Mark (actually ) was Peter’s secretary and later a companion to Paul, after which he died a martyr in Egypt. He wrote the first Gospel, while working for Peter.

• James, who wrote one of the books (Letter bearing his name) is James the Righteous, who led the early church in Jerusalem as (head of elders) for more than 30 years and was known as the “brother of Jesus”, which means he could have been a close relative, such as nephew, cousin or half-brother (perhaps was a widower, when he married the Virgin Mary, and James was his son. It’s interesting to note that James was not a follower of Jesus until after His resurrection, which is why his presence was not noted at the crucifixion. He is the James mentioned in the Acts of the

had something like a sledge hammer and brought it down on James Y Y head, in front of thousands. The leaders put him in front of the throng M M

of people to denounce Jesus; but James told them the truth. James O O the Righteous is considered the greatest of the three James. T T N N • The Letter of Jude (the next to the last New Testament book) was U U

written by Jude, known as the brother to James and Jesus. T T H H • Paul, who was originally Saul of Tarsus, was a learned theologian G G and tent maker. Before becoming a disciple of Christ, he passively I I L L stood by and watched as St. Stephen was martyred. He died in
