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 ben hanaggar (the carpenterʼs son)? Is not his Em called Miryam? And are not his achim Ya’akov, Yosef, Shim’on and Yehuda? And are not his achayot (sisters) with us? From where, therefore, came to this one all these things?
While he was still speaking to the multitudes, hinei, Moshiachʼs Em and achim stood outside, seeking to speak with him.
And the Em (Mother) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and his achim come and stand outside and they sent word to him. And a multitude was sitting around him, and they are saying to him, Hinei! Your Em (Mother)! And your achim (brothers)! And your achayot (sisters) are outside looking for you. And in reply to them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Who is immi? And my achim (brothers)? And having looked around at the ones sitting around him, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Hinei! Immi and my achim! For whoever does the ratzon Hashem, this one is my brother and my sister and mother.
And the Em of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and his achim came to him, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude.
Da incredulidade à fé
Os irmãos de Jesus não criam nele inicialmente. Mas após a ressurreição, estavam entre os discípulos em oração.
His achim then said to him, Leave here and go away into the land of Yehudah, that also your talmidim will see your ma’asim which you do. For no one who seeks public notice does anything besod (secretly). If these things you do, then manifest yourself to HaOlam. For not even the achim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach were believing in him.
He says to her, Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet made the aliyah ascent to HaAv; but go to my Achim and tell them, I make the aliyah ascent to Avi and to Avichem, to Elohai and Eloheichem.
These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to tefillah, with the nashim and with Miryam the Em of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and with his achim.
But other of the Moshiachʼs Shlichim I did not see except Ya’akov achi Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.
For it was bekavod (fitting, proper) for him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing banim rabbim (many sons) to kavod, to bring to shleimut (perfection, completion) the Rosh (Head) and Mekhonen (Founder) of their Yeshu’at Hashem through yissurim (suffering). For both HaKadosh who makes holy and Kedoshim who are being made holy all have HaAv Echad. It is for this reason Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is not ashamed to call them Achim,
