M’Clintock and Strong well summarized the evidence which supports the conclusion that Jesus had literal, uterine brothers: “[S]uch a supposition is more in agreement with the spirit and letter of the context than any other, and as the force of the allusion to the brothers and sisters of Jesus would be much weakened if more distant relatives are to be understood” (1968, 1:895). It is reassuring to know that Jesus experienced familial and fraternal ties. He had four brothers and at least two sisters (Matthew 13:55-56; Mark 6:3). He experienced what it was like to have His own brothers reject God’s truth (Matthew 12:46-50; John 7:5). Fortunately, those brothers, especially James, later embraced the truth and became active members of the church of Christ (Acts 1:14; 12:17; 15:13; 21:18; 1 Corinthians 9:5). “We do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses” (Hebrews 4:15). “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same” (Hebrews 2:14).

Yes, Matt 13:53-56 ".....this is the carpenters son, surely, Is not his mother the woman call Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Jude? His sisters too, are they not all here with us?"
Mark 3:31-35 "His mother and brothers now arrive and, standing outside, sent in a message asking for him.....the message was passed to him "Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you."

somewhere in psalms or proverbs it says the Lord, who is God , the I AM is a father to the fatherless thus yes Jesus has many many brothers and sisters but also James was a brother too.
Jesus was My brother because IAM fatherless.

Matthew 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Galatians 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

Jesus had a brother named James. I don't remember where it is in the Bible, but it's there.

no He did not. When the bible says "aren't these His brothers and sisters" they meant his extended family (ex. Cousins, uncles, aunts, etc.) got it???

No, but he did have cousins which in the bible the translation of brother or sister is cousin.
