Bible Question: Did Jesus have brothers and sisters who were born to Mary after his birth? |
Bible Answer: Jesus certainly had brothers and sisters, the most well known of which was James the Righteous, who became a Christian leader in Jeruselem. As to whether they were also the children of Mary, the bible doesn't specifically say to my knowledge, but they appear to have been younger than Jesus so it would seem likely. Mk 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Mtt 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? |
