Bible mentioned that Jesus has 4 brothers more than once and sister(s). One of them was named Judas, a common name back then. NOT the same Judas that betrayed him.
The roman Catholic church claims they were cousins. No where has this been confirmed at all-something they made up to go along with a lie.....God bless you
Matthew 13:54-56 (New International Version)
54Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?" they asked. 55"Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

Catholics are obsessed with keeping Mary a perpetual virgin. Protestants aren't, and have no problems with Joseph preggering Mary subsequent to Jesus's birth.
There is also the tradition that Joseph was a widower with children by an earlier wife. James and Jude would be Jesus's half- or step- brothers, then.

The writer of the book of Judas, the one before revelation, was the brother of Jesus. Mary did have other offsprings.

Misconception. Many do not understand that the word used as means "close male relative."
