1 | names of mary and Josoph | Mark 6:3 | jawz | 47952 | ||
James and Joses are the children of Mary the wife of Clopas (Alphaeus in Aramaic), not the virgin Mary. Mary the wife of Clopas is described as the sister of the virgin Mary in John 19:25 yet clearly they could not be siblings as no one gives their children the same name. Note also that Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist is described as Mary's cousin, yet Elizabeth is from the Levite tribe while Mary is descended from David so clearly they cannot truly be cousins. Jews were required to marry within their tribe. | ||||||

Scripture ... MattĀ 10:4, Mark 6:1-3, 15:40, 47; John 19:25-27 jawz, Who is the carpenter, the son of Mary? Mark 6:3 "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" ... verse 1,says it was Jesus. There is another James and Joses (15:40, 47). Judas and Simon were also two of His disciples (MattĀ 10:4) The reason His siblings were not at the cross (John 19:25) is because they weren't belivers is the general belief. Just because they weren't there, does not mean they didn't exist. Case in point, there was only one disciple mentioned (vv 26-27). Conclusion, Mary had other children. Searcher |

So how do you explain Jesus entrusting Mary to the Apostle John. What is your basis for this if Mary has other children. We see in Acts that Jesus "brothers" believe after Jesus resurrection, so if they really are Mary's children they would certainly look after her. For Jesus to entrust his mother to someone else when she had other children would have been a serious breach of tradition and a serious affront to his "brothers. Can you explain this? No? Conclusion, Mary had no other children. |

Greetings Jawz! There are two possible answers to why Jesus entrusted Mary to John rather than His brothers. 1) They didn't believe in Him - John 7:5. 2) They weren't there! Though they are mentioned in Acts 1:14 as being in prayer with the disciples. Besides, it's not like Jesus ever broke tradition or anything! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

The only traditions that Jesus broke were the false ones created by the Pharasees. God makes it very clear that the family is extremely important. If you believe that Jesus broke this tradition you really need to explain why. | ||||||

Greetings Jawz! I was just trying to be funny! :-) But, I think my point is valid. Just because something was a tradition, doesn't necessarily mean that Jesus was bound by it. In this instance, there are possible reasons why He may have entrusted Mary to John rather than His siblings. But, since the text never says, we can only guess. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
