Agrippa killed James, (the son of Zebedee) the brother of John with a sword. (ACT 12:2) Clement Alexandria added from the tradition of his anscestors {Clement, Institutions, 1. 7.} {*Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 1. 2. c. 9. 1:58} that the very same man who brought James into judgment became a Christian. He saw how freely he gave testimony of Jesus and that he publicly confessed he was a Christian in spite of having received most severe warnings. Therefore when they were brought both together for punishment, he desired James' forgiveness and James considered little of it and said: "Peace be to you."
