James of Capernaum
Child from Capernaum who ran and to whom Jesus promises honey in Paradise.[1] He will be a young comMissionary who, every Sabbath, brings to Jesus the purse anonymously given by Levi (Matthew).
"Well done, little James! You will tell this person that my prayers rise to the Father for him."[2]This act of generosity will give him the good example: "Levi (Matthew) no longer gives me anything for the poor of the Lord, but I have set aside all the small coins I am given when I am good and now I give them to you. Will you give them to the poor for my grandfather (invalid)?"[3]
Apostolic journey
Like many children from Capernaum, his love for Jesus will not fail.[4]
His name
James has the same root as Jacob (Ia'acob): etymologically: "he who supplants"; another proposed etymology is: "he (God) keeps, protects him" - Historical: Jacob, son of Isaac and Rebecca; twin brother of Esau, who took the name Israel after wrestling with the angel.
