'Brother' in the Bible

While Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers Simon (also called Peter) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, because they were fishermen.

Going on from there he saw two other brothers James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee repairing their nets. When he called them,

But I say to you, anyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be subject to punishment. And whoever says to his brother "Raka!' will be subject to the Council. And whoever says, "You fool!' will be subject to hell fire.

"So if you are presenting your gift at the altar and remember there that your brother has something against you,

leave your gift there before the altar and first go and be reconciled to your brother. Then come and offer your gift.

Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when the beam is in your own eye?

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

"Brother will hand brother over for execution, and a father his child. Children will rebel against parents and have them put to death.

because whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

Herod had arrested John, bound him with chains, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

"If your brother sins against you, go and confront him while the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother.

Then Peter came up and asked him, "Lord, how many times may my brother sin against me and I have to forgive him? Seven times?"

This is how my heavenly Father will treat each one of you unless you forgive your brother from your hearts."

"Teacher, Moses said, "If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for his brother.'

Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his widow to his brother.

The same thing happened with the second brother, and then the third, and finally with the rest of the brothers.
