Jesus was the first born child of Mary. It is therefore true that Jesus was older than His brother James.

Was Mary Magdalene older or younger than Jesus?

It is not specified in historical records, but Mary Magdalene is commonly thought to have been a contemporary of Jesus, rather than being significantly older or younger.


Was John born before Jesus?

John the Baptist was older than Jesus by at least six months. Elizabeth was six month pregnant with John at the time of Mary's visitation of the Gabriel. John 1:36 - Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. John the Apostle on the other hand was younger than Jesus. It is generally accepted that John was the youngest disciple and is often portrayed as a beardless brown-haired youth little more than sixteen years of age.


Was John the Apostle related to Jesus?

No. John was the son of Zebedee and Salome, and the younger brother of James. About half way through His 3 years of ministry, Jesus chooses a group of 12 men whom He will develop close discipling relationships. John, his brother James, and Peter enter into a more intimate relationship with Jesus than the other disciples, but they were not related.


How many years of Jesus' life does John's Gospel cover?

Scholars say that the mission of Jesus described in the synoptic gospels could have been accomplished in just a few weeks, and that they certainly seem to assume that his mission was no more than one year. John's Gospel must cover a period of just over three years, because of the four visits to Jerusalem at the time of the Passover.


Did Jesus say you are one with God?

John 10: 30 reads: "I and the Father are one. ". But if you read verse 29 which shows that God as Jesus's Father are two different people, in these words. " What the Father has given me is something greater than the other things ... Matthew 3: 17 also confirms that fact in these words. " A voice from heaven said: " This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved." These words were said the day of Jesus' baptism. One: or "at unity." in John 10: 30 shows that Jesus and the Father are unified in protecting sheeplike ones and leading them to everlasting life. Such shepherding is a joint task of the father and the Son. They are equally concerned about the sheep, not allowing anyone to snatch them out of their hand. Read John 10: 27-29; Compare Ezekiel 34: 23,24 Jesus and his Father are "one" in action and cooperation, not in person. Read John 5: 19; 14: 9, 23 Jesus means an oneness of purpose but not an equality of godship. So it is important not to isolate a verse from its context . John 17: 1-26; 10: 25-29; 17: 2, 9-11 where comparing words are recorded, especially shows when Jesus prays that his followers " may be one just as we are one." John 17: 11. So the kind of oneness referred to in John 10: 30 as well as in chapter 17 would be the same. To understand John 10: 30; 14: 28 correctly, we must examine what the Bible really says about Jehovah God and about Jesus rather than try to harmonize the verses with " the Trinity dogma," which is not based on the Bible. The Bible shows that Jehovah God is not only Jesus' father but also Jesus's God, the One whom Jesus worships. Read Matthew 4: 10; Mark 15: 34; John 17: 3; 20: 17; 2 Corinthians 1: 3. Jesus is not equal to God. The oneness to which Jesus referred to must be understood in harmony with the context of his statement. he was speaking of his works and his care of the "sheep".

Why was Joseph so much older than Jesus mother?

Because he had to establish himself as a carpenter and be successful enough to afford a wife. It is believed by most that Mary was in her mid teen years when she carried and gave birth to Emmanuel, God with us, Jesus Christ. Joseph is not heard from after Jesus is age 12. Jesus gave his mother to John when he was on the cross which wouldn't have happened if Joseph was still alive as she was to live in John's house.
