There are several references in the new Testament to Jesus' brothers and sisters. Matthew 13:55 lists four brothers: James, Joseph (Joses), Simon, and Jude (Judas).

Another possibility is that they were Joseph's children from an earlier marriage.
What disciple was Jesus cousin and where is it found in the bible?
Actually there was more than one.Two of the apostles, James and his brother John are Jesus first cousins. There is also another apostle named James, who was the son of Alphaeus, who was probably the brother of Joseph, Jesus adoptive father. This would make this second James also Jesus cousin. So there were possibly three postles who were Jesus cousins, both apostles named James, and the apostle John.Another cousin of Jesus was John the Baptist, who began preaching six months before Jesus began preaching. In this way, he prepared the people to receive Jesus. John the baptist was actually Jesus' second cousin.John 1:6-8, 15-28;Mark 3:13-19; Luke 6:12-16

In The Bible who is James?
James is generally thought of as the Lord's brother (Gal. 1:19), the son of Mary, and is mentioned in Acts 12:17; 15:13; Gal. 2:9. The epistle which he wrote and is addressed to the 12 tribes scattered abroad, was probably written from Jerusalem, but the date is not known.AdditionallyThere were also two apostles named James called James the Greater and James the Less to distinguish from each other. James the Greater was the son of Zebedee and brother of John (Matt. 4:21), James the Less was the son of a man named Alphaeus (Matt. 10:3).
Was James the brother of Jesus an apostle?
Most would say no but some same yes.Traditionally the two people named James who were apostles named James the Greater (brother of John) and James the Less (son of Alphaeus) were different than James the brother of Jesus (also called James the Just and the bishop of the church in Jerusalem) who is described as the author of the book of James.Critics argue that James the brother of Jesus (James the Just) was also James the Less. James was a very common name at the time (as it is today) so it can be confusing which James is described in the Bible.Answer 2.Yes.In the Holy Scriptures, James the Less, also known as James son of Alphaeus, was the foster son of Joseph the Carpenter and the Virgin Mary, and so foster brother of Jesus. Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; The History of Joseph the Carpenter.He was given the appellation - 'brother of Jesus'. He is listed as one of the Twelve apostles, Matthew 10:3.He died during the turmoil as described in Acts 12, dated to the death of Herod in that year - 44 A.D. John son of Zebedee, of whom Jesus decreed was the son of the Virgin Mary, and so decreed in Law to be James son of Alphaeus' foster brother, is marked as such, in Acts 12:2.James the Just, James son of Zebedee, 'the Lord's Brother' and 'brother of the Lord' - being the same person, is marked as such in Holy Scripture: Gal. 1:19; Gal. 2:9; Acts 12:17; Acts 15; Assumption Gospels; James' Apocalypse; Transitus Mariae, Apocrypha Syriaca; etc. The term brother is one given to signify his character, Acts of Philip.He is one of the Twelve apostles as listed in Matthew 10:2.

Which 'James' as four are mentioned in Jesus' time: the brother of John and one of the 'sons of Zebedee; the son of Alphaeus called the 'Less or Younger' in Matthew 10:3; James the father of Judas in Luke 6:16; and James, the half-brother and of Jesus and author of the Book of James and Head of the Church of God at Jerusalem? In Acts 12:1-2 we can read of the son of Zebedee, James being 'beheaded.' He was the first of the Apostles martyred. Tradition holds that the half-brother of Jesus was thrown of a roof to his death.
Who is judes brother in the short book of Jude?
The General Epistle of Jude does not say directly whether the author was the apostle Jude or Jude, the brother of Jesus, but does say in verse 1 that his brother was named James. Verse 1 also says that the author, Jude, the 'slave' of Jesus, when a brother would naturally mention his relationship to Jesus, so this surely rules him out as the brother (or half-brother) of Jesus. Verse 17 speaks of the apostles as if the author was not one of them, so this also rules out Jude as the apostle Jude.Verse 17 also tells us that the apostles had spoken of these things beforehand, verse 18-19 speak of things that were once told about the mockers of Jude's time, while verse 3 tells us that the Christian faith was once (long ago) passed on to the saints, all of which confirm that this epistle was written during the second century, long after the apostles and the brothers of Jesus were dead.The Epistle of Jude was written pseudepigraphically, but the author carelessly failed to make clear which Jude we wanted to represent himself as, and therefore we do not know which James was supposedly his brother.
