Which Apostles were with Jesus during the transfiguration?
MAR 9:2 ¶ And six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and brought them up to a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them;Answer/There were three Apostles with Jesus during the transfiguration - Peter and the sons of Zebedee, being John and James.
Who is the James in Acts 12.17?
Answer :James son of Zebedee is the James refered to in Acts 12.17.He is referred to at Acts 12.17, because he was the bishop of Jerusalem, and Peter wished to inform him of the current events.Ref: for bishop of Jerusalem, see The Apocalypse of James - James is identified as the son of Theuda, derived from Theudas, synonymous with Zebedee in meaning gift of God.How can it be James son of Zebedee when it says in 12:2 that James, the brother of John (also son of Zebedee; see Matthew 4:21) was put to death with the sword? It would have to be either James the son of Alpheus (James the Lesser) or James the brother of Jesus.Seeing as how Paul refers to "James the brother of our Lord" in Galatians 1:19 during his time in Jerusalem (the location of the events in Acts 12), it would seem likely that this is the James mentioned in Acts 15, who seems to take on an overseer position with the Church in Jerusalem. It would then make sense that in Acts 12:17 it is James the brother of Jesus that Peter is speaking to.
Which books of the Bible did James write?
Just the Epistle of James. It is not certain which James wrote it. It was probably 'James the brother of the Lord', who was neither of the apostles, James son of Zebedee or James son of Alpheus.
How The Bible came to be?
Depends if you want the religious version or not. The historic version is that the bible is a compilation of books from Judaism, witha bit of Zoastrianism in there. It was then translated into the Latin Vulgate, then from there into the King James bible. It also picked up a lot of little bits from various religions around the world as Christianity expanded. At this point you probably wouldn't even recognize the original versions of the Vulgate.
What books of the Bible were written by James?
Just James
