Mark 6:3 identifies Jesus' brothers as James, Joses, Juda and Simon, but there is no suggestion, here or anywhere else in the Bible, that they were only half-brothers. The notion that they were really only half-brothers, or even cousins, arose much later in the Catholic Church, which wished to preserve the virginity of Mary throughout her life.

The Bible mentions four half-brothers of Jesus by name: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas. They are referred to as the brothers of Jesus because they were sons of Mary, Jesus' mother, but their father was Joseph.
