Psalm69:8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s sons.

---

1 Save me, O God,

for the waters have come up to my neck.

2 I sink in the miry depths,

where there is no foothold.

I have come into the deep waters;

the floods engulf me.

3 I am worn out calling for help;

my throat is parched.

My eyes fail,

looking for my God.

4 Those who hate me without reason

outnumber the hairs of my head;

many are my enemies without cause,

those who seek to destroy me.

I am forced to restore

what I did not steal.

5 You, God, know my folly;

my guilt is not hidden from you.

6 Lord, the Lord Almighty,

may those who hope in you

not be disgraced because of me;

God of Israel,

may those who seek you

not be put to shame because of me.

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;

You assume this is referring to Jesus, verses 1, 2,3 5, and 6 does not fit that assumption at all.

With out that assumption there is no proof what so ever that Mary had any more than one child.

Koine Greek is very precise. It has a word for male cousin, a word for female cousin, a word for brother and a word for sister. The word for ‘brother,’ not the word for, ‘cousin,’ is used in such passages as, Matthew 12:47:

Someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.”
