'Brother' in the Bible

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.

The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and say to him, "We have found the Anointed One!" (which is translated "Messiah").

One of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, told him,

Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was the one who was ill.

and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother.

Martha told Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

Jesus told her, "Your brother will rise again."

As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and told him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died."
