ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΡΚΟΝ 6:3 Greek NT: Textus Receptus (1894) ουχ ουτος εστιν ο τεκτων ο υιος μαριας αδελφος δε ιακωβου και ιωση και ιουδα και σιμωνος και ουκ εισιν αι αδελφαι αυτου ωδε προς ημας και εσκανδαλιζοντο εν αυτω ἀδελφὸς means brother and ἀδελφαὶ means sisters. I know it sounds Greek to me also. However, it does not mean cousin.

I agree, the words αδελφαι and αδελφος are sisters and brothers, not cousin and in this verse in Mark they are named.

"However, it does not mean cousin."Neither does it mean sibling.
We know the Gospels to be inerrant so there must be an explanation other than sibling to explain the different fathers mentioned for each of Jesus' "brothers".
"For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.” - Mark 3:35
