Were the apostles James and Matthew brothers?
James and Matthew were both of the 12 apostles of Jesus. Both were son’s of Alphaeus. Are they brothers or from different fathers both named Alphaeus?

It seems likely that each had a separate father called Alpheus.
There may have been two separate men named Alphaeus. Though both Matthew and James are described as being the "son of Alphaeus" there is no Biblical account of the two being called brothers, even in the same context where John and James or Peter and Andrew are described as being brothers.
