Matthew 27:55-56 55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
John 19:25 25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
luke 6;14
Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus,
Alphaeus and Clopas are said to be one and the same.
Clopas is the husband of the mother of james and Joses
And it is this mary who is the mother of James and Joses .
Jesus had brothers and sisters but Jesus was Mary`s only child.
also I would remind you that the jews knew nothing about it
so what they said about brothers and sisters mean nothing,
do you think they believed God was the father of jesus?.
Mary was special and I think God kept her that way, this has nothing to do with Jewish tradition this happened to be the greatest miracle God has ever peformed, don`t take it so lightly if you really believe.
You should hang your head in shame trashing The mother of the son of God the way you do.
Ah, speculation.......
What a great thing to base *truth* on.
