Alphaeus is mentioned in the New Testament as the father of three of the Apostle Christian The Twelve Apostles Twelve Apostles , namely Matthew the Evangelist Matthew Levi the Apostle James, son of Alphaeus Jude the Apostle Jude Thaddaeus the Apostle As the father of an Apostle James, he has been confused with Clopas , who through his wife Mary of Clopas Mary is thought by some to have been stepfather to James the Less nkjv John 19 25 John 19 25 This information is not confirmed as the original reading of the scriptures has Mary not having more than one husband and also not having children with other men. He and Clopas were both Zaddikite priests related to Zechariah the father of John the Baptist according to the Church fathers. This identification, and the problem arising from it, is explained by the Catholic Encyclopedia This name, Clopas, is thought by many to be the Greek transliteration of an Aramaic Alphaeus. This view is based on the identification of Mary, the mother of James etc. Mark, xv, 40 with Mary, the wife of Clopas, and the consequent identity of Alphaeus, father of James Mark, iii, 18 , with Clopas.

In Greek language Greek , this sign as Qoppa Unicode probably came to represent several labiovelar labialized velar plosive s, among them IPA k and IPA k . As a result of later sound shifts, these sounds in Greek changed to IPA p and IPA p respectively. Therefore, Qoppa was transformed into two letters Qoppa, which stood for a number only, and Phi letter Phi which stood for the aspirated sound IPA p that came to be pronounced IPA f in Modern Greek. In the earliest Latin inscriptions, the letters C, K and Q were all used to represent the sounds k and g which were not differentiated in writing . Of these, Q was used to represent k or g before a rounded vowel e.g. EQO ego , K before a , and C elsewhere.

The name appears only once in the New Testament , specifically in Gospel of John John 19 25 quote Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. His identity and relationship to Jesus has been a topic of debate between Christian scholars. Interpretations The most common interpretation is that Clopas is the husband of this Mary and subsequently the father of her children. However, though those holding that Saint Anne had three husbands see Clopas as one of Anne s husband and father of Mary of Clopas. ref 1913CE St. Anne ref He is often identified with another figure of a similar name, Cleopas , one of the two disciples of Emmaus nkjv Luke 24 13 27 Luke 24 13 27 .
