Cle'Opas - ( Luke 24:18 ) Some think the same as Cleophas in (John 19:25 ) But they are probably two different persons. Cleopas is a Greek name, contracted from Cleopater, while Cleophas, or Clopas as in the Revised Version, is an Aramaic name, the same as Alphaeus
Alphaeus - See John 19:25 with Luke 24:18 and Matthew 10:3 , it is evident that Alphaeus is the same as Cleophas; Alphaeus being his Greek name, and Cleophas his Hebrew or Syriac name
Clopas - ] Cleophas ) is named only in John 19:25
Alphaeus - John 19:25 says Mary the wife of Cleophas was at the cross. This would seem to indicate that Cleophas and Alphaeus are two names for the same person. Some want to equate Alphaeus, Cleophas, and the Cleopas of Luke 24:18
Emmaus - (Hebrew: a people rejected) ...

Mary of Cleophas - ...
Mary of Cleophas or (See CLOPAS; ALPHAEUS; JAMES. ) In John 19:25, "there stood by Jesus' cross His mother, and His mother's sister Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. Thus "Mary of Cleophas" is the same as "Mary of James the Little and of Joses," and was sister of the Virgin Mary. The names of the two sisters being alike may be explained by the fact that many manuscripts distinguish the Virgin Mary as Mariam, Mary of Cleophas and the other Mary's as Maria (as we distinguish Mary and Maria); it was a favorite name for mother's to give to children, from the famous Miriam, Moses' sister. ...
Mary was probably the Virgin's older sister or half-sister; she married Cleophas and by him had four sons, James (the apostle), Joses ("Joseph" Vaticanus manuscript, "John" Sinaiticus manuscript), Jude (the apostle), and Simon, and three daughters. Her retiring disposition may be the cause of the non-mention of" Mary of Cleophas" until the crucifixion
Alphae'us - (John 19:25 ) [MARY ] In this latter place he is called Clopas (not, as in the Authorized Version, Cleophas)
Cleopas - He is supposed to be the same as Cleophas(or CLOPASas in the Greek) mentioned in John 19:25

Lord, Brethren of the - His father was a certain Alphaeus, equivalent to the Cleophas or Clopas of John 19, according to the synoptic Gospels (Matthew 10; Mark 3; Luke 6), and his mother, Mary, was a close attendant on Jesus (Mark 15), being a sister of the mother of Jesus (John 19) or a sister-in-law (on Hegesippus's assertion that Cleophas was Saint Joseph's brother). Hence we may recognize the "Brethren of the Lord" as cousins of Christ, children of Mary, wife of Cleophas, and nephews of the Blessed Virgin
Alphaeus - The same as Clopas (as it should be written, not Cleophas), both names being Greek variations of Hebrew Chalpai , or Ηhalpai

Mary - MARY, of Cleophas. Jerom says, she bore the name of Cleophas, either because of her father, or for some other reason which cannot now be known. Others believe, with greater probability, that she was wife of Cleophas, as our version of the New Testament makes her, by supplying the word wife, John 19:25 , and mother of James the less, and of Simon, brethren of our Lord. These last mentioned authors take Mary mother of James, and Mary wife of Cleophas, to be the same person, Matthew 27:56 ; Mark 15:40-41 ; Luke 24:10 ; John 19:25 . John gives her the name of Mary of Cleophas; and the other evangelists, the name of Mary, mother of James. Cleophas and Alpheus are the same person; as James, son of Mary, wife of Cleophas, is the same as James, son of Alpheus. This is all we know with certainty concerning Mary, the wife of Cleophas
Brother - Some have supposed that they may have been the children of Joseph by a former marriage, and others that they were the children of Mary, the Virgin's sister, and wife of Cleophas
