Matthew 1:25 but do not think in this context culture and time this means she necessarily had other children. Pharaoh lost his firstborn son in the Exodus plague but had no other sons...in The Bible the Hebraism interpreted firstborn means the one that opened the womb. Thus there is a grave site in Egypt regarding a Jewess of the Diaspora who died giving birth to her firstborn (she did not have other children after her death).

Answer:In both Matthew 13 and Mark 6, it clearly speaks of the other children in the family born to Mary. "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?" Mt. 13: 56,57. "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him." Mk. 6:3.

The passages in context show that Mary was both the mother of Jesus and had at least 6 other children. Some would try to say that these mentioned are cousins, but the word for cousin is used for Elizabeth, Whom Mary visited In Luke 1. Joseph had been fearful that Mary was pregnant by adultery, but the angel, Gabriel told him that the baby in Mary's womb was Jesus, sent from heaven by the Holy Ghost to be our Savior, and that he should not fear to take full marriage to her. Therefore, "Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: and knew her not (not having normal marital relations) till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS." Matthew 1:24,25.

The wording is unavoidable to show that Mary and Joseph had a normal marriage relationship, after Christ was born. The reason He was virgin born was to be born without the sin of Adam. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Romans 5:12. Therefore, Jesus Christ, who was without sin, could die for our sins as the Savior of man. For all who trust in Him as their Savior from sin: "[God] hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2 Corinthians 5:21.

So, "she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:7. While this does not mean the firstborn is followed with other children, in Mary's case, the evidence shows that she did, and it confirms the purpose of Jesus being born of a virgin.
