The Bible never gives an exact count, but Jesus"™ siblings are mentioned in several Bible verses. Matthew 12:46,Luke 8:19, and Mark 3:31 say that Jesus"™ mother and brothers came to see Him. Jesus had four brothers: James,Joseph, Simon, and Judas(Matthew 13:55). Jesus also had sisters, but they are not named or numbered (Matthew 13:55-56). In John 7:1-10, His brothers go on to the festival. In Acts 1:14, His brothers and mother pray for Him. Later in Galatians 1:19, it mentions that James was Jesus"™ brother. The most natural conclusion of these passages is to interpret that Jesus had actual blood siblings. There is no Biblical reason to believe that these siblings are not the actual children of Mary and Joseph. They were obviously born after Jesus, because Jesus was born of a virgin (Isa 7:14; Luke 1:26-38).

Reb you get the prize you are right. I just wonder what happen after Jesus gave mary to peter to take care of at the cross they are never in the Bible after that. It looks like the brothers would have taken you where Jesus left off but the Bible does not say that.

Actually, Jesus gave Mary to John, not Peter. Also, most agree that James the half brother of Jesus was the one that was the leader of the Jerusalem church and probably the author of the epistle of James.

sorry Leaf I mix up the names but what do you think happen to the rest of the brother and sister I know the Bible does not tell us but what do you think
When Catholics call Mary the "Blessed Virgin," they mean she remained a virgin throughout her life. When Protestants refer to Mary as "virgin," they mean she was a virgin only until Jesus"™ birth. They believe that she and Joseph later had children whom Scripture refers to as "the brethren of the Lord." The disagreement arises over biblical verses that use the terms "brethren," "brother," and "sister."
There are about ten instances in the New Testament where "brothers" and "sisters" of the Lord are mentioned (Matt. 12:46;Matt. 13:55;Mark 3:31"“34;Luke 8:19"“20;John 2:12, 7:3, 5, 10;Acts 1:14;1 Cor. 9:5).
When trying to understand these verses, note that the term "brother" (Greek: adelphos) has a wide meaning in the Bible. It is not restricted to the literal meaning of a full brother or half-brother. The same goes for "sister" (adelphe) and the plural form "brothers" (adelphoi). The Old Testament shows that "brother" had a wide semantic range of meaning and could refer to any male relative from whom you are not descended (male relatives from whom you are descended are known as "fathers") and who are not descended from you (your male descendants, regardless of the number of generations removed, are your "sons"), as well as kinsmen such as cousins, those who are members of the family by marriage or by law rather than by blood, and even friends or mere political allies (2 Sam. 1:26;Amos 1:9).
Lot, for example, is called Abraham"™s "brother" (Gen. 14:14), even though, being the son of Haran, Abraham"™s brother (Gen. 11:26"“28), he was actually Abraham"™s nephew. Similarly, Jacob is called the "brother" of his uncle Laban (Gen. 29:15). Kish and Eleazar were the sons of Mahli. Kish had sons of his own, but Eleazar had no sons, only daughters, who married their "brethren," the sons of Kish. These "brethren" were really their cousins (1 Chr. 23:21"“22).
The terms "brothers," "brother," and "sister" did not refer only to close relatives. Sometimes they meant kinsmen (Deut. 23:7;Neh. 5:7;Jer. 34:9), as in the reference to the forty-two "brethren" of King Azariah (2 Kgs. 10:13"“14).

This point is again corroborated at the crucifixion scene: Before He dies, our Lord says to Mary, "Woman, there is your son," and then to St. John, who is definitely not a blood brother, "There is your mother." According to Jewish law, the oldest son had the responsibility of caring for the widowed mother, and that responsibility would pass to the next oldest if anything happened to the first born son. By this time, St. Joseph has died. Since Jesus, the first born, had no "blood brother," He entrusted Mary to the care of St. John, the Beloved Disciple.

Jesus had no brothers or sisters. If we use the terms as siblings with the same Father and mother.
The mother of Jesus was Mary and the Father was God. No other human can claim those "parents".
