Bible Question:
where in the bible does it say mary went on to have many other children not just Jesus? |
Bible Answer: Mike, Here are a few verses which reference the physical brothers and sisters of Jesus. Matthew 13:54-56 55 "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" NAS Mark 6:3 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?" And they took offense at Him. NAS Luke 8:19-21 19 And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was reported to Him, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You." 21 But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it." NAS John 2:12 12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and there they stayed a few days. NAS John 7:2-5 3 His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may behold Your works which You are doing. 4 "For no one does anything in secret, when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world." 5 For not even His brothers were believing in Him. NAS 1 Corinthians 9:4-5 5 Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? NAS Galatians 1:19-20 19 But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother. NAS As for becoming a priest, I recommend you continue to pray to God for help. He will send you someone who will lead you to the truth. AO |
