The Bible does not tell us for sure but every thing indicates they were most likely step brothers, that is why Jesus appointed John to care for his mother.

Nothing in the bible indicates they were step brothers...

Also why they never showed Jesus the respect that normally a younger brother would show for an older brother, because they were probably older.

They didn't believe Jesus was the Messiah...They thought he was nuts...THAT is what the bible tells us...

My older brothers were hero`s my younger ones were nuts they, were probably older brothers

IIRC, Joseph (the OT one) didn’t fare too well with HIS brothers, either!
