Matthew 1:12-16

Joseph married Mary daughter of Heli.

Matthew 1:12-16 - Mary is very familiar to us. She was not married to Joseph when the Holy Spirit came upon her and she conceived the baby Jesus. I hope you do not need a biblical reference for Mary, but if you do you can send me an email message. I will give you several.

Joseph and Mary had the following children:

  1205 M i Jesus was born in 0006 BC in Bethlehem. He died in 0030 in Jerusalem. He was buried in Jerusalem.

Matthew 1:12-16

Four Brothers are listed for Jesus in Matthew 13:55 and Mark 6:3. Their names are James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas. The passages also indicate that he had sisters, but they are not named. Controversy has raged through the ages concerning these siblings.

Some people take these Bible passages as written and accept that Mary and Joseph had several other children after Jesus was born. Others maintain that Mary was a virgin all her life and had no other children. They believe that the Joseph had already been married once and the children were produced in that marriage. That would make them Jesus’ half brothers and sisters.

Yet another theory is that the words “brother” and “sister” really referred to cousins or other closely related people. One view I have read suggests that “brother” and “sister” are used just like certain religious groups use them today to refer to members of the congregation.

I do not mind stating my opinion about this. I believe that they were full brothers and sisters of Jesus just as the biblical passages say. I refer you to a book named The Brother of Jesus, by Hershel Shanks and Ben Witherington, Harper Collings Publishers, Inc., San Francisco, California, 2003. It discusses this in depth.
