Matthew 27
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph,[a] and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
Mark 15
40 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
Mark 3
18 James the son of Alphaeus,
According to all references Alphaeus and clopas or Cleopas are the same person.
This other mary is idebtified as the mother of James and Joses or josepth and she is identified as the wife of Clopas or Cleopas.
Jude is also called another son of Alphaeus by many of the historical shall i say experts?.
It can get kind of mixed up but since there is not one scripture saying anything about any of these children being the children of Josepth and Mary the following scripture closes the deal for me.
John 19
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[b] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
Mary had no other Children.
