Did they not think he was the spawn of Yahweh?

Jesus' brothers and sisters, didn't believe that Jesus was God. Jesus didn't teach that he was God, so why should his family believe something Jesus didn't teach?
Even after Jesus death, James and Jude, two of his brothers, who had the privileged of writing the books of the bible containing their name, continued to know that Jesus is not God, and therefore not to be worshiped. (James 1:27; Jude 1:1)
Jesus is the Son of God, the firstborn of all creation.

James and Jude were Brothers of Jesus. You'll find them in The Bible.

think about it....if your brother took off for a whole bunch of years, then came back spouting he was the all mighty son of god, wouldn't you be more inclined to want to lock him in a nut house then worship him?
I mean, his brothers and sister WERE after all, only human.

thinking of how families work, it would probably be hard to try to live up to your big brother jesus's name who is the king of kings.
doesn't excuse them though.

They didn't? The only references we have of them are in the Bible, and those references seem to indicate that they did accept Him for who He claimed to be.
