The term 'brother' as used in the Bible has a broader meaning than uterine brothers. It can mean a biological brother, but it can also mean an extended relative, or even a spiritual brother. No it can't...A natural brother or a spiritual brother, ok...An extended relative, Nope, in the New Testament...

Nope, in the New Testament... WRONG!
How did Jesus have 500 'Brothers'??
“After that, [Jesus] appeared to more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep." 1 Cor. 15:6
