Irmãos de Jesus
Os irmãos de Jesus são mencionados nos Evangelhos. Embora inicialmente céticos sobre sua missão, alguns, como Tiago, tornaram-se líderes da igreja primitiva.
Menções nos Evangelhos
Jesus teve irmãos chamados Tiago, José, Simão e Judas. Eles conviveram com Ele na casa de Nazaré e participaram de sua vida pública.
Isn’t he the son of the carpenter? Isn’t Mary his mother, and aren’t James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers? Don’t his sisters still live here in our town? How can he do all this?"
Jesus' Mother and Brothers
While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers came and stood outside because they wanted to talk with him.
Jesus' Mother and Brothers
Jesus' mother and brothers came and stood outside. Then they sent someone with a message for him to come out to them. The crowd sitting around Jesus told him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside and want to see you."
Jesus asked, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?" Then he looked at the people sitting around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who obeys God is my brother or sister or mother."
Jesus' Mother and Brothers
Jesus' mother and brothers went to see him, but because of the crowd they could not get near him.
Da incredulidade à fé
Os irmãos de Jesus não criam nele inicialmente. Mas após a ressurreição, estavam entre os discípulos em oração.
and Jesus' brothers said to him, "Why don’t you go to Judea? Then your disciples can see what you are doing. No one does anything in secret, if they want others to know about them. So let the world know what you are doing!" Even Jesus' own brothers had not yet become his followers.
Jesus told her, "Don’t hold on to me! I have not yet gone to the Father. But tell my disciples I am going to the one who is my Father and my God, as well as your Father and your God."
The apostles often met together and prayed with a single purpose in mind. The women and Mary the mother of Jesus would meet with them, and so would his brothers.
The only other apostle I saw was James, the Lord’s brother.
Everything belongs to God, and all things were created by his power. So God did the right thing when he made Jesus perfect by suffering, as Jesus led many of God’s children to be saved and to share in his glory. Jesus and the people he makes holy all belong to the same family. This is why he isn’t ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.
