Jesus probably had 1/2 blood brothers with Joseph their father and Mary their mother.
To: RnMomof7
Yes...nine months after Joseph “knew” Mary which he did NOT until after the birth of Jesus.

Respectfully submitted for consideration...
In the Greek, Luke uses the phrase τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον, translated literally as the son of her, the firstborn. In English we would say, her firstborn son.
The key word in this section is πρωτότοκον (prototokos). It means first, pre-eminent; the first among others. It allows for other children to be born to Mary.
Contrast this with John 3:16 where John uses the Greek Υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ, literally Son the only begotten.
The key word is μονογενῆ (monogenes). It means one and only; one of a class.
We know this is the correct description of Jesus as He is the only Son of God.
However, He is not the only son of Mary. Recall that Luke was a physician who by his own account researched a lot so we would have an accurate account of what happened.
If Luke wanted to indicate Mary had only one child he would have used the phrase John did.

Catholics will strangely say that Mary remained a virgin for her entire life and never had relations with her husband.

I was not aware Catholic teaching was that Mary remained a virgin...that would mean Mary's marriage to Joseph was never consummated.. so by Catholic doctrine..would the marriage be valid?

the conclusion that Jesus had literal, uterine brothers A conclusion that Luther rejected.
A conclusion that Calvin rejected.
A conclusion that Jerome rejected ... with extreme vehemence.
A conclusion which Torah and logic, taken together, require either (a) that Jesus' "literal, uterine brothers" all predeceased him; or (b) that practically Jesus' last act on earth was to commit a sin, by absolving his siblings of their duty to obey Torah and take care of their mother.
A conclusion which requires us to speak where the Bible is silent, because absolutely no verse anywhere in Scripture says that anyone except Jesus is a biological son or daughter of Mary.

Did Jesus have half brothers and sisters, the natural children of Mary and Joseph? Well, of course He did. After the birth of Jesus, Mary and Joseph had a normal sexual life as a married couple. After Jesus was born, they "did the deed" and the brothers of Jesus did not believe in Him either, until later, possibly after the resurrection. Jesus' brothers James and Jude wrote books in the New Testament. I can see heads exploding, but Elsie has been right all along. 😄😃😀😱😇

Only if they were sons of Joseph by an earlier marriage.
