Exodus 13:1-2
“Brother”
John 2:1BIBLE BANG
In the Gospels our Blessed Mother is always referred to as Jesus’ mother, not the mother of any other man or woman. And Jesus is called the son of Mary, not a son of Mary.
Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph? Mark 6:3
“There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him; among who were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, as well as Mary the Mother of Jesus.
The word brother ““brethren” also meant close relatives (Genesis 13:8, Genesis 14:12)
“Brother”
Here the word brother is being used to describe the relationship between Abraham and Lot, who were not biological brothers but uncle and nephew:“So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and mine, for we are brothers” (Gen 13:8).
They also carried off Abram's nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom. (Gen 14:12)
Jesus dies on the cross:
When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple he loved (John) he said to her “woman behold Your son and turning to his disciple said son behold your mother.”
No Son but Jesus
John 19:26BIBLE BANG
If they [the brethren of the Lord] had been Mary's sons, she would never have been given over in the moment of the passion [crucifixion] to the apostle John as his mother, the Lord saying to each, "Woman, behold your son," and to John, "Behold your mother" [John 19:26-27], as he bequeathed filial love to a disciple as a consolation to the one desolate (Commentary on Matthew 1:4 [Hilary of Poitiers A.D. 354]).
Let those, therefore, who deny that the Son is by nature from the Father and proper to his essence deny also that He took true human flesh from the ever-virgin Mary (Discourses against the Arians 2:70 Athanasius [A.D. 360]
In being born of a virgin who chose to remain a virgin even before she knew who was to be born other, Christ wanted to approve virginity rather than to impose it. And he wanted virginity to be of free choice even in that woman in whom he took upon himself the form of a slave (Holy Virginity 4:4 [Augustine A.D. 401]).
I firmly believe that Mary, according to the words of the gospel as a pure Virgin brought forth for us the Son of God and in childbirth and after childbirth forever remained a pure, intact Virgin. John Calvin
It is an article of faith that Mary is Mother of the Lord and still a virgin. Martin Luther
I believe... he [Jesus Christ] was born of the blessed Virgin, who, as well after as she brought him forth, continued a pure and unspotted virgin. John Wesley (Methodists)
