'Brethren' in the Bible

And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd.

And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it.

And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;

But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and'some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.
