'Brothers' in the Bible

And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.

And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.”

But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

And He also went on to say to the one who had invited Him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment.

“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.

for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

And He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless;

But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,

but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”
