<P> The Gospel of Mark 6 : 3 and the Gospel of Matthew 13 : 55 -- 56 state that James , Joses ( or Joseph ) , Jude and Simon were the brothers of Jesus , the son of Mary . The same verses also mention unnamed sisters of Jesus . Mark 3 : 31 -- 32 tells about `` Jesus ' mother and brothers '' looking for Jesus . A verse in the Epistle to the Galatians 1 : 19 mentions seeing James , `` the Lord 's brother '' , and none other of the apostles except Peter , when Paul went to Jerusalem after his conversion . The `` brothers of the Lord '' are also mentioned , alongside ( but separate from ) Cephas and the apostles in 1 Corinthians 9 : 5 , in which it is mentioned that they had wives . Some scholars claim that Jesus ' relatives may have held positions of authority in the Jerusalem area until Trajan excluded Jews from the new city that he built on its ruins . </P>
