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.
‘Is this not the son of the smith and Miryam [waters of strength]? Do you not know all these: his mother Miryam [waters of strength], his three brothers; Yosef [he will add], Shim’on [he has heard] and Y’hudah [Praise],’
‘and his sisters? Do you not know all these who are with us?. From where did all these things come to this one?’
While he was speaking to all the crowds, behold his mother and his brothers were standing outside seeking him to speak with him.
There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, youi mother and youri brethren without seek for youi.
And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
For whosoever shall do the will of God-Theos, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
Then came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
Da incredulidade à fé
Os irmãos de Jesus não criam nele inicialmente. Mas após a ressurreição, estavam entre os discípulos em oração.
His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Y’hudah [praised], that youri disciples also may see the works that youi do.
For [there is] no man [that] does any thing in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If youi do these things, show yourself to the world.
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
Yeshua [God is Salvation] says unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my God-The Father, and your God-The Father.
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Miryam [waters of strength] the mother of Yeshua [God is Salvation], and with his brethren.
But other of the apostles saw I none, save Ya’akov [heal-grabber] the Lord - Kurios’s brother.
For it became him (was fitting for; was exactly suited for), for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
For both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
