Yes, according to the New Testament, Jesus had siblings. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke mention Jesus’ brothers and sisters.
In Matthew 13:55-56, the people of Nazareth refer to Jesus’ family: “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Aren’t all his sisters with us?”
Mark 6:3 similarly states: “Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?”
These passages suggest that Jesus had at least four brothers and an unspecified number of sisters.
The exact nature of these relationships has been the subject of theological debate. Some interpretations, particularly within the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions, hold that these “brothers” and “sisters” were either cousins or Joseph’s children from a previous marriage, maintaining the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary. Others, especially within Protestant traditions, accept the plain reading of the text that these were Jesus’ half-siblings, children of Mary and Joseph.
