Last mentioned, after the ascension of the Lord, in the upper room:

The following references to JAMES would appear to be the half-brother of the Lord Jesus (Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:3):
Acts 12:17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
Acts 15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
Acts 21:18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
