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.
