Apologetics 101: Brothers of Christ?
Today's Gospel reading may have caused some of you to raise an eyebrow. In Mark 6:3 the gospel writer describes the brothers and sisters of Jesus. How can this be if Mary was "ever virgin?" Did Jesus have brothers and sisters? NO. The primary explanation is that no word existed in the Hebrew or Aramaic languages for cousin. The third note at the bottom of this scripture reference explains its meaning. For a more detailed answer please see the article on Catholic Answers entitled Brethren of the Lord.
