AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 6:3 "Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are His sisters not here with us?" And they were [deeply] offended by Him [and their disapproval blinded them to the fact that He was anointed by God as the Messiah]. |
Subject: Did Jesue have any siblings? |
Bible Note: Well, I guess that we have learned all about Jesus and his parents: Could you explain to me (including Biblical references): a) How old was Joseph and was he never married, divorced or widowed, if previously married did he have any offsprings from that marriage? b) When Jesus was missing (age 12), where did his parents leave his younger siblings when they traveled each year to the Temple?, why was Jesus found alone--as any normal family younger brothers and sisters stick with the older ones (especially during Christ's era: better family unity than today!), why is there no mention of Mary leaving the other children with her relatives in order to look for Jesus? c) Jesus is mentioned as Mary's son--the other brothers and sisters are not labeled in the same manner--they are simply called Jesus' brothers and sisters, not Mary's other children. d) On the cross--did Jesus err or did He hate his brothers and sisters so much that He gave His mother away to one of His disciples (who happens to have a brother named James)?, should Jesus not have thought about His brothers and sisters being able to tend to His mother better than John?, did He not think that at least one of His brothers or sisters would be hurt by his decision? e) Would proving or disproving Mary's state (virgin; not a virgin), grant anyone absolution and forviness of sin, consequently salvation?
