Bible Question: Did Jesus have any siblings? What bible verse supports the answer? |
Bible Answer: In my mind, this is the most authoritative verse making it plain Jesus had a physical family here on earth. Matt 12:46 While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. 47 Someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You." 48 But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?" 49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers! 50 "For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother." We don't hear of His family (other than His mother at the cross) again until the book of James. Apparently, then His brother became a christian after Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. God bless. |
