James of Dora
Laborer from Dora, in the plain of Sharon. He comes with his woman for a whole month to obtain the Grace that their son-in-law Jacob does not send the divorce document to their daughter Mary, mother of two children. Without success. Jesus, anonymously, announces to them the miracle: the envoy was stopped on the way.
To illustrate constancy in prayer, Jesus will tell the parable of the unjust judge.[1]
Perhaps he is also the brother of Gamala, the vinedresser disciple of John the Baptist.
His name
Jacob, Jacques: Ya'aqob. Etymologically: "he who takes by the heel, who supplants" (allusion to the birth of the twins); another proposed etymology is an abbreviation of Ya'-cob-El: "May God protect" - Historical reference: Jacob, son of Isaac and Rebecca, the twin brother of Esau, who took the name Israel after wrestling with the angel.
