You're looking for something in the text that isn't there to help dis
prove the catholic talking point sacred tradition of Mary being ever virgin.
It's called eisegesis....the process of interpreting a text or portion of text in such a way that the process introduces one's own presuppositions, agendas, or biases into and onto the text. This is commonly referred to as reading into the text. The act is often used to "prove" a pre-held point of concern to the reader and to provide him or her with confirmation bias in accordance with his or her pre-held agenda.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisegesis
Have you not learned yet that context is key to understanding a passage?
