These brothers go into two categories.

Firstly, there are His earthly half- brothers by natural descent through His step-father Joseph and His mother Mary. These siblings are only half-brothers since Joseph was not a participant in His conception.

The passage below mentions the names of four of these half-brothers:

55Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? It must also in this connection be made clear that as there were other people present when this was said, including disciples, that these four were clearly intended in the context as being referred to as actual physical relations of Jesus, not spiritual brethren.

Secondly, Jesus calls all who truly follow Him His 'brethren', both brothers and sisters. These are obviously of a great number down through the ages.

Everyone who believes that he is the Christ and he died for our sins and was risen in three days and now sits at the right hand of God.

Answer:

Other than that... Jesus had four step-brothers: James, Joses, Simon and Judas -(Matt.13:55). And at least two step-sisters (verse 56).


Here's a little more detail on this:
Mary and Joseph had no children before Jesus (Matthew 1:18-21, 24&25 ), but a number of scriptures mention "the Lord's brothers," "the brother of the Lord," "his brothers," "his sisters," naming four of the "brothers": James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas. (Matthew 12:46; 13:55, 56; Mark 3:31; Luke 8:19; John 2:12; Acts 1:14; 1Corinthians 9:5).
During Jesus' ministry, "his brothers were, in fact, not exercising faith in him," this would certainly rule out their being his brothers in a spiritual sense. (John 7:3-5) Jesus contrasted these fleshly brothers with his disciples, who believed in him and who were his spiritual brothers. (Matthew 12:46-50; Mark 3:31-35; Luke 8:19-21).
Jesus had at least four brothers and two sisters that were offspring of Joseph and Mary by natural means after the miraculous birth of Jesus.(Mark 6:3)
Jesus' brother James, who was singled out prominently among the older men in Jerusalem, wrote the letter bearing his name. (Ga 1:19)

In addition to the above, the brother of Jesus, James, is also singled out a great deal in Acts as well as Paul's letters, and the contexts of these confirms that James became a well-respected and important leader of the early church, and wrote the letter in The Bible that bears his name.
