Jesus had no siblings. Our Lady was a perpetual virgin and had no other children. The only reason it says brothers and sisters in the Bible is because there is no Aramaic word for cousins and such.

Joseph was a much older man then Mary(she was between 14-16) Joseph had children from his previous marriage. Mary had only one child, that was Jesus.So any brothers or sisters would have been half brothers or sisters.

At least 2 brothers I heard he could have had as many as 4 brothers and 3 sisters but I don't know that anyone knows for certain

Jesus had 4 half brothers and at least two half sisters since the Scriptures use the word sisters(plural). Catholics have there own doctrine which makes Mary forever a virgin which was necessary to honor her the way they do in praying to her and making her mother of god. Even Jesus said to Mary what have I to do with you on occasion showing she was just the woman( and Jesus referred to Mary as woman in Scriptures) who brought him into the world but that he was Spiritual and from his Father and that spiritual matters were of more importance. Only Catholics give her her importance beyond what even her son Jesus did.

direct siblings, none. various cousins and even pssibly younger aunts and uncles, many.
brothers and sisters in His love and mercy - more then the stars in the heavens.

The Bible only names James, Joseph, Simon and Judas...and says that he also had many sisters.

Full siblings, or half-siblings?
