"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).

These were questions, I encountered while talking with people of France, and at first a brah was left bambozzled. Knew Jesus, had kin peoples, but to say something , the word tells u to speak no unlearned thing, so u got to have script. reference, ya hear. Take care, God empower you to prosper,(meaning of Blessed) and Much Love to yah. Lion of Judah

Yes I agree it is clearly mentioned that Jesus had other brothers and sisters aside from Him being of an immaculate birth. Joseph was not to touch marry in the conjugal since until after Jesus birth.
James one of the books of the Bible and alleged to have been sawn in half is stated to be a brother of Jesus.
I find it deep where Jesus seperated from them and stated those who were supporting him were his brothers and sisters also scriptures talk about a friend that is closer than a brother.
Anyway, deep blog bro, hope to see more. Don't want to go on a tangent here.
