They were cousins. Read your footnotes and stop believing what someone tells you. There was no Aramaic word for cousin, so the word ‘brother’ was used.

LOL! What do you think footnotes are? Something "someone" is telling you about the passage.

I’m sorry, but I am convinced it is translated correctly. But, let me ask, why are you so adamant that it is cousins and not brethren?

Messianic verse
Psalm 69:7
7 For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face.
8 I am a foreigner to my own family, a stranger to my own mother’s children;,
9 for zeal for your house consumes me,
