Who was jesus famous cousin?

Answer 1

John the baptist. Also, James & John, the sons of Zebedee (Matthew 27:55-56; Mark 15:40; John 19:25-27). Salome (the wife of Zebedee) was the mother of James & John. She was also the sister of Mary, the mother of Jesus, making her sons the cousins of Jesus.

Answer 2

A:

In Luke's Gospel, John the Baptist is portrayed as a second cousin of Jesus.

Uta Ranke-Heinemann discusses this claim, in Putting Away Childish Things, and says that the story is unlikely to be true. Luke's Zacarias is simply an echo of the Old Testament Zechariah and Elizabeth, cousin of Mary is also a literary creation. The story of Zacarias doubting when promised a child, when he and Elizabeth were already stricken with age, was inspired by the story of Isaac being promised to Abraham. The Magnificat (Luke 1:42-55) was created by piecing together several passages in the Old Testament, once again showing that this account was was not actually historical.
