Protestants open Mark 6:3 and say: see, Jesus had brothers. Case
closed. But the Greek word is adelphos, and the New Testament was
written by Jewish men thinking in Hebrew. Ancient Hebrew has no
word for cousin. The word for brother, ach, covers brothers,
half-brothers, cousins, nephews and fellow countrymen. Rashi, the
greatest Jewish biblical commentator in history, notes it in
Genesis 14:16. The same word, the same convention, the same
confusion.
Then there is John 19:25-27. Jesus on the cross entrusts Mary to
John. Under Jewish law, biological brothers were legally obligated
to care for their mother. Jesus who said he came not to abolish
the law would never have bypassed real brothers. The cross scene
is the smoking gun. And Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli all agreed:
Mary had no other children.
