James the Son of Zebedee

The Church affirms the martyrdom of the eleven disciples except for John. James's death is also corroborated in Mark 1039, which records Jesus telling James who wishes to sit at Jesus' right hand that James doesn't understand that Jesus will be killed and this will inaugurate his kingdom. More skeptical scholars are likely to reject many of these accounts as being legendary because the earliest sources for them are a century or several centuries later.
