1 answer

According to the New Testament of the Bible, Mary and Joseph are primarily known for being the parents of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Matthew (13:55-56) mentions that Jesus had siblings, specifically naming four brothers: James, Joseph (also called Joses), Simon, and Judas (often referred to as Jude). Additionally, it is mentioned that Jesus had sisters, though their names and the number of sisters are not specified.

In summary, the children traditionally attributed to Mary and Joseph are:

  1. Jesus
  2. James
  3. Joseph (Joses)
  4. Simon
  5. Judas (Jude)
  6. Sisters (names and number unspecified)

Remember that interpretations may vary among different Christian denominations regarding the nature of Jesus' siblings. Some traditions believe they could be half-siblings or step-siblings, while others hold that Mary remained a perpetual virgin.
