Did Jesus have a brother?

Yes and more than just James the most famous who most likely was the author of the book of James. Below is a conversation between Jesus and His brothers.\nIf you are referring to James Simon and Judas they were His disciples not brothers. This is a different James than His brother. Also there were 2 named Judas but neither were His brothers. Simon was renamed Peter by Jesus.

That is an interesting question.  I have always assumed Mark was one of Jesus' disciples, and he probably was, but not one of the original 12 Apostles.  Luke 6:12-16 lists The Twelve as Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot who became the traitor.  Jesus had many followers and the crowds did follow Him.  Mark had to have had some close contact with the disciples to have been able to write first hand about the life of Jesus.  \nYou have given me something to think about and investigate.  Thank you.

The new guy has obviously been influenced by the _da_Vinci_Code_ or other, similar works that posit that Jesus was married (most likely to Mary Magdalene), and likely had children through that union.\n\nThere are a couple verses in the gospels (depending on your translation - I'm looking at the New International Version) where Jesus is referred to as having brothers; I'd look specifically at Matthew 13:54-56, which says \n\n"54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?" they asked. 55 "Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"\n\nWhile scholars have argued that "brother" might actually mean "cousin" or "other close male relative", the text wouldn't directly support that.\n\nThe wife and children thing can't be disproved Biblically - but neither can it be proven.  Some take the absense of direct reference to a wife as proof, while say that any man referred to as a rabbi/teacher would need to be married to have that status (as per the culture of the time).  Either way, there isn't anything that can be used definitively either way.

Dan Brown (puh) suggests that Jesus was completely human born of a father & mother and was married to the Magdalene and they had kids. WOW! How incredibly difficult to believe this fantastic story! Gnostics been saying this since the son of man was teaching them (and making love to MM).\n\ngo jesus & mary & uncle judas

As the oldest son, Jesus probably helped to care for the family, particularly since it appears that Joseph died before Jesus.  “Tradition declares that Joseph died while Jesus was yet young, and that the latter took up the carpenter’s trade and became the support of the family. This finds some support in the Scriptural testimony where Jesus himself is called a carpenter, and his mother and brethren are mentioned, but Joseph is ignored. (Mark 6:3) . . . It is quite probable, then, that the long period of eighteen years of our Lord’s life, from the time of the incident [recorded at Luke 2:41-49] to the time of his baptism, was spent in the performance of the ordinary duties of life.” Mary and her children, including Jesus, likely knew the pain that results when a beloved husband and father dies.\n\nAfter the events of the year 12 C.E. we have no particular record of Jesus until the fall of 29 C.E., when, at the age of thirty, he comes to John the Baptist, evidently his cousin, requesting to be baptized in the Jordan River.

The Secret Gospel of Mark (not part of the official Christian canon) implies that Jesus had a sexual relationship with Lazarus. \n\nWhether Jesus was gay, or had children with Mary Magdalene, is all just speculation. We really don't know anything about Jesus beyond what's written in the gospels...and the gospels were written long after Jesus' death.

Yes Cain. Cain and Abel were fraternal twins. Abel was of Adam. Two separate bags of water two separate conceptions.\n\n1Jo 3:12  Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. \n\nJoh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.\n\nGen 4:1  And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. \nGen 4:2  And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. \n\nThe word "again" in the Hebrew means (continued).\nEve continued in child birth and had twins.

was Mark really Susy's brother?

theres really no mention of him after Jesus is 12, the popular thought is that he died, seeing that Jesus gave John charge to take care of Mary, his mother.

there could be a huge possibility that the person beside jesus is mary magdalene and not an apostle (i think its peter) no one may ever know. it all depends on ones belief or research. \n\nsome people do believe that the cup of christ is mary magdalene and as the book "the da vinci code" explains to us that jesus may have had an offspring with mary magdalene, and that she started the merovingian blood line. \n\nsome people may say this as blasphemy or in-accurate but remember that there is still no REAL proof that jesus ever exsisted, we all base it on the bible and other written records but found not even one real evidence that he ever lived. so who could say that the person beside him is not a woman..
