What context would that be? And if the Holy Spirit wanted you to understand that all these “Brothers” were of Mary, wouldn’t you think He would have made it abundantly clear, even without a proper greek word?

Most Protestants (I used to be a faithful, learned one) :) Would say it is abundantly clear beginning with "he knew her not until..." and continuing with "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you." .

On the other hand where is the Bodily Assumption Of Mary even hinted at in Scripture? Don't you suppose the Holy Spirit would have made abundantly clear in Scripture if He wanted you to know it?
