paul further describes james as being one of the persons the risen christ showed himself to (1 corinthians 15:3-8); then later in 1 corinthians, mentions james in a way that suggests james had been married (9:5); and in galatians, paul lists james with cephas (better known as peter) and john, as the three "pillars" of the church, and who will minister to the "circumcised" (in general jews and jewish proselytes) in jerusalem, while paul and his fellows will minister to the "uncircumcised" (in general gentiles). (2:9, 2:12). these terms (circumcised/uncircumcised) are generally interpreted to mean jews and greeks, who were predominant, however it is an oversimplification as 1st century iudaea province also had some jews who no longer circumcised, and some greeks (called proselytes or judaizers) and others such as egyptians, ethiopians, and arabs who did.
