His brothers name was Judas Khrestus, and the crucifixion of Jesus was unknown among the early church as late as the end of the second century. This was close to 176 years after the church would like us to believe the brutal end of its God occurred. It must be immediately pointed out that the modern church admitted the records of Bishop Irenaues (d.202) created a serious problem. They said of him: “Although of crucial importance in the development of the church’s theology. Irenaeus presents problems of considerable difficulty in regard to details about Jesus Christ”. Irenaeus is fondly described by the church hierarchy as the “depositary of primitive truth”, but he denied a virgin birth, and never mentioned a trial of Jesus Christ, said nothing of a crucifixion or resurrection and claimed Jesus declined towards old age

No, Jesus didn't have a twin brother, and Barabbas was the criminal who was set free so Jesus could take his place on the cross. Most Catholics don't believe that Mary had any other kids besides Jesus, although it is a possibility that Jesus had two younger half brothers, James and John (the sons of Mary and Joseph). Hope that helps, God bless.

Dear Cullen,
No IFs, ANDs or BUTs about it.
Jesus did not have a twin brother.
Why waste precious time speculating on it?
The Bible tells us what we need to know about Jesus and about the Author of life.
A far more important question to ask is Why are you avoiding Him?

Possibly, Barabbas means; the son of the father.
