James, the brother of Jesus, was killed by being thrown from the pinnacle of the temple in Jerusalem by order of the high priest Ananus. This method of execution was chosen to publicly humiliate James and demonstrate the religious authorities' power.

Where in the bible does it say Jude is the brother of Jesus?

There are several references in the new Testament to Jesus' brothers and sisters. Matthew 13:55 lists four brothers: James, Joseph (Joses), Simon, and Jude (Judas). Some people prefer to call them half brothers of Jesus, since God was Jesus' father. The tradition in Roman Catholic Church, which holds that Mary was a virgin her whole life, is that they were cousins of Jesus. Another possibility is that they were Joseph's children from an earlier marriage.
