Jesus Immediate Family #newtestamentstudy #biblestudy

Most people know about Jesus’ brother, James who was the head of the Jerusalem church and wrote the book of James. (“James the Just” they called him.) But did you know Jesus had three other brothers and at least two sisters? (Or, I suppose, they would be half brothers and sisters.) When Jesus preached in His hometown synagogue, everyone was amazed and they said, “Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” Mark 6:3, NIV. But not even his immediate family understood who Jesus was and what His mission was. After he appointed the 12 apostles, they went into a home and a crowd of people gathered that was so large they weren’t able to eat. And Mark 3 says, “When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” (Mark 3:21). And, of course, Jesus would ultimately declare, “Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” (Matt 12:50).
