"Did Jesus have brothers and sisters (siblings)?"



Answer: The Bible never gives an exact count, but Jesus’ siblings are mentioned in several Bible verses. Matthew 12:46, Luke 8:19, and Mark 3:31 say that Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him. Jesus had four brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55). Jesus also had sisters, but they are not named or numbered (Matthew 13:55-56). In John 7:1-10, His brothers go on to the festival. In Acts 1:14, His brothers and mother pray for Him. Later in Galatians 1:19, it mentions that James was Jesus’ brother. The most natural conclusion of these passages is to interpret that Jesus had actual blood siblings. There is no Biblical reason to believe that these siblings are not the actual children of Mary and Joseph. They were obviously born after Jesus, because Jesus was born of a virgin (Isa 7:14; Luke 1:26-38).
This is something, people need to know, Jesus did have family, and was the oldest, dealt with family problems, even some of his family members didnt believe he was who he was at first, until the rise after his death on the cross, some deep stuff. Ya boy, said the enemies you will have are the ones of ur own house hold, the bible said his own recieved him not. Take God Bless, and keep it real always, and verify what Im talking about, thats what the word tells u to do, so be like Nike and just Do it. Much love. Lion of Judah (Abraham)
