Then Jesus said unto them, "Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me." Matthew 28:10 KJV
Why did He call the Apostles "brethren?" Maybe because "brethren" and "brothers" means more than just siblings?

The statement "Our Father" in the Lord's prayer indicates that he thought of us all as his brethren.
