How many brothers did Jesus have? And did he have sisters too?

The Scriptures give no reason why Mary should have remained a virgin.So did Jesus have any half brothers and half sisters?\nThat Mary had other children besides Jesus is clear from the questions asked by Jesus' townfolk who where well acquainted with his family:"Where did he get all this?What kind of wisdom is he endowed with?....Is this not the carpenter,the son of Mary,a brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon?Are not his sisters our neighbours here?"-Mark6:2,3,NA.\nThat Jesus had natural (half)brothers is also indicated by the fact that on one occasion he was told that'your mother and your brothers are standing out there and they wish to speak to you'We further read that "not even his brothers had confidence in him"-Matt.12:47;John 7:5,NA

Yes and his name was Jesus the son of Mary peace be upon them both. You claim that you believe in the Quran, if so then go read what God tells us in it.

Jesus was against families. Here is a long list of the family values Jesus preached..including for you to hate your father, mother and siblings.\nhttp://skepticsannotatedbible.com/fv/nt.html\n\nHe did have family..a brother James, Mary his mother, and his father Joesph(that is if you don't believe the virgin birth bit)..but he forsook them for something he considered more important...this imaginary friend of his called Yahweh.\n\nOf course this is all according to the book. There is no contemporary evidence that Jesus even existed. http://www.jesusneverexisted.com

Twelve chosen by Jesus near the beginning of his ministry, those whom also He named Apostles, were:\n\nSimon called Peter (Grk. petros, petra; Aram. kēf; Engl. rock) by Jesus, also known as Simon bar Jonah and Simon bar Jochanan (Aram.) and earlier (Pauline Epistles were written first) Cephas (Aram.) by Paul of Tarsus and Simon Peter, a fisherman from Bethsaida "of Galilee" (John 1:44; cf. 12:21) \nAndrew brother of Peter, a Bethsaida fisherman and disciple of John the Baptist, and also the First-Called Apostle \nJames ("the Great") and \nJohn, sons of Zebedee, called by Jesus Boanerges (an Aramaic name explained in Mk 3:17 as "Sons of Thunder") \nPhilip from Bethsaida "of Galilee" (John 1:44, 12:21) \nBartholomew, in Aramaic "bar-Talemai?", "son of Talemai" or from Ptolemais \nThomas, also known as Judas Thomas Didymus - Aramaic T'oma' = twin, and Greek Didymous = twin \nJames ("the Less") and \nMatthew the tax collector, sometimes identified with Levi, sons of Alphaeus \nSimon the Canaanite, called in Luke and Acts "Simon the Zealot" \nJudas Iscariot name Iscariot may refer to the Judaean towns of Kerioth or to the sicarii (Jewish nationalist insurrectionists), or to Issachar; he was replaced as an apostle in Acts by Matthias \nThe identity of the other apostle of the twelve varies between the Synoptic Gospels and also between ancient manuscripts of each gospel:\n\nMark names him as Thaddaeus \nSome manuscripts of Matthew also identify him as Thaddeus \nSome manuscripts of Matthew name him as Lebbaeus \nSome manuscripts of Matthew name him as Judas the Zealot \nLuke names him as Judas, son of James \nThe Gospel of John, unlike the Synoptic Gospels, does not offer a formal list of apostles, nor does the author even state their number. However, the following eight apostles are identified in the fourth Gospel account:\n\nPeter \nAndrew (identified as Peter's brother) \nthe sons of Zebedee \nPhilip \nNathanael \nThomas (identified as also being called Judas and Didymus (John 20:24)) \nJudas Iscariot \nThe individual that the Gospel of John names as Nathanael is traditionally identified as the same person that the Synoptic Gospels call Bartholomew, and most would agree that the sons of Zebedee is likely to be a reference to James and John. Noticably missing from the Gospel of John are James "the less", Matthew, and Simon the Canaanite/Zealot. James "the less" was, according to the Book of Acts, the leader of the Jerusalem church, and Matthew is noticably the most Jewish of the Gospels, and it may be the case that the author of John deliberately left out these two figures for a motive opposed to Jewish Christianity. By the second century, the presence of two Simons in the list of the Synoptic Gospels allowed a case to be made for Simon Magus being the other of the Simons, and hence one of the twelve apostles; and it may have been for this reason that John left the other Simon out

No brothers and three sisters.  I could be mistaken.  Maybe he had two half-brothers, I heard someplace.  Then too don't forget his  half-cousin Jerry.

Lazarus was not a disciple.  He was the brother of Mary and Martha and a friend of Jesus.  Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.\nMost people believe that John was "the disciple that Jesus loved".\nIf you could update your question, would you please reference the passage, and indicate which version of the Bible you are referring to?

Yes, he had a Christian slave (Maria) that he married later on after having a son from her. He also had three Jewish wives (Safeya, Gowayreya, and Reyhana) that he enslaved during his wars and married later on.

That's what he said, and, if you think about it, it is absolutly true.  In the beginning Jesus led a sect of Jews.  Then the gentliles who began to follow Jesus didn't like the Jewish regulations, so, they split off.  That began a long history of the  followers of Jesus splitting over and over again, often over things Jesus said nothing at all about.

Jesus actually ran his own escort service out of Nazareth and his twelve disciples were actually his posse of prostitutes that were rented out to King Herod's bi-sexual henchmen.\n\nJesus was gay, but celibate. True story.

Yes, if you believe that the whole of history is contained in the Bible, then, he would have to have married his sister.  However, it could be that a generation or two had actually passed, or, that there were other people around from other tribes... in which case, it could also be his cousin.

On the first occasion, He fed 5,000 (men only, besides women and children. On the second occasioin, He fed 4,000 (men only, besides women and children.\n\nMatthew 15:32-38: "Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children."
