If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. 7:5 For neither did his brethren believe in him. Here is another clear case of scripture showing that Jesus had brothers. The brethren could not be disciples because they are differentiated in the text in John 7:3. In John 7:5 brethren could not mean a disciple because they did not believe in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! Same mom, different dad. He also had at least two sisters. But we don't know their names. Mark 6:3 = "Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?' And they were offended at him.

And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him." Matthew 12:46-50, “While he was still talking to the multitudes, one said to him, ‘Look, Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to you.’ But he answered and said to the one who told him, ‘Who is my mother and who are my brothers?’ And he stretched out his hand toward his disciples and said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello There is no scripture about that....however they would be half brothers if Mary were the mother because Joseph was not a biological father Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
