I always thought Jesus had brothers.
In fact, I always wondered if he had sisters as well.
I’m sure He did have sisters. I suppose it was the culture at the time, but, when Jesus fed the 5000, He only counted the men, not the women and children. I’ve always felt also, that Jesus had brothers and sisters because God loves His creation. Told us to go and multiply and I don’t believe God would have left Mary without other children. Also, back then women didn’t have jobs, relied heavily on husbands and their children. Especially as they grew older.
Umm, might that be *half* brothers or sisters?
