The first thing to understand is that the term brother (Gk. adelphos) has a broader meaning than uterine brothers. It can mean a biological brother, but it can also mean an extended relative, or even a spiritual brother.
Take Genesis 13:8 for example. Here the word brother is being used to describe the relationship between Abraham and Lot, who were not biological brothers but uncle and nephew
Because of the Bibleβs broad semantic range of βbrother,β we can rest assured that although St. Paul writes, β[Jesus] appeared to more than five hundredβ¦brothers at the same timeβ (1 Cor. 15:6), we need not infer from this verse that Mary gave birth to more than 500 children!
James and Joseph (also called Joses), who are called Jesusβ βbrothersβ (Mark 6:3) are indeed the children of MaryβJust not Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Telegram has made it easier for its users to communicate, as it has introduced a feature that allows more than 200,000 users in a group chat. However, if the users in a group chat move past 200,000, it changes into "Broadcast Group", but the feature comes with a restriction. Groups with close to 200k members can be converted to a Broadcast Group that allows unlimited members. Only admins can post in Broadcast Groups, but everyone can read along and participate in group Voice Chats," Telegram added.
