How Many Siblings Did Jesus Have and What Did They Do
by https://bulletpointchristian.com
In the New Testament of the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, there are references to Jesus having siblings. However, the exact number and the specific activities of these siblings are not detailed extensively. Here’s what we know:
Number of Siblings:
Brothers Mentioned: In Matthew 13:55-56 and Mark 6:3, four brothers are named: “Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?” In addition, sisters are mentioned, but not named or numbered.
Sisters Mentioned: The same verses state, “And his sisters, are they not all with us?” This implies that Jesus had at least two sisters, as the plural is used, but their names and exact number are not specified.
