He went up to his old home at Nazareth, and saw his brothers Joses, and Judas, and James, and Simon--those persons who, being own brothers to Jesus Christ, one would expect to hear mentioned sometimes, yet who ever saw their names in a newspaper or heard them from a pulpit? View ...
What do we know about these brothers and sisters? Why does Matthew reverse the order of the last two brothers (13:55)? Are the brothers related to other NT people with the same names? Are they the same individuals, for example, as the Apostles James, Judas and Simon? Does the ...
