====Scriptures Concerning the Brothers and Sisters of Jesus====
* [[Psalm 69:8]] I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
* [[Matthew 12:46]] While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
* [[Matthew 13:55]] 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
* [[Matthew 13:56]] And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
* [[Mark 3:31]] There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. <sup>[[Mark 3:32|32]]</sup> And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. <sup>[[Mark 3:33|33]]</sup> And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? <sup>[[Mark 3:34|34]]</sup> And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! <sup>[[Mark 3:35|35]]</sup> For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
* [[Mark 6:3]] Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
* [[John 2:12]] After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
* [[John 7:3]] His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. <sup>[[John 7:4|4]]</sup> For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. <sup>[[John 7:5|5]]</sup> For neither did his brethren believe in him. <sup>[[John 7:6|6]]</sup> Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. <sup>[[John 7:7|7]]</sup> The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. <sup>[[John 7:8|8]]</sup> Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come. <sup>[[John 7:9|9]]</sup> When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. <sup>[[John 7:10|10]]</sup> But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 
* [[1 Corinthians 9:5]] Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
* [[Galatians 1:19]] But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
