5. One of the same faith (Amos 1:9; Acts 9:30; 11:29; 1 Corinthians 5:11) whence the early disciples of our Lord were known to each other as brethren.

(Mark 3:31,32; Galatians 1:19; 1 Corinthians 9:5) etc., were probably the younger children of Joseph and Mary. Some have supposed that they may have been the children of Joseph by a former marriage, and others that they were the children of Mary, the Virgin's sister, and wife of Cleophas. The first interpretation, however, is the most natural.
