Bible Note: See Matt 12:46 and Mark 6:3. In Matt 12:46 re the word "*brothers*. These are actual siblings (half-brothers) of Jesus. Matthew explicitly connects them with Mary, indicating that they were not cousins or Joseph's sons from a previous marriage, as some of the church fathers imagined. They are mentioned in all the gospels. Matthew and Mark give the names of 4 of Jesus' brothers, and mention that He had sisters as well." (p. 1415, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) |
