Matthew 13:55 also has the same passage as Louis quoted, mentioning James, Joseph, Judas and Simon.

Other passages

Matthew 12:47 "your mother and brothers are outside wanting to speak to you"

John 2:12 "After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother, brothers and his disciples"

Acts 1:14 "They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers"

All of his family were sceptical of Jesus during his ministry, "For even his own brothers did not believe him" (Johnn 7:5). James is mentioned nowhere else in the gospels, nor is he listed as one of the 12 apostles (and shouldn't be confused with James, son of Zebedee or James son of Alphaeus). After Jesus's resurection he appeared to James (1 Cor 15:7) who then became a believer and one the leaders of the early church, and the other brothers took believers as wives and became missionaries. James oversaw the church in Jerusalem. He was advocated respect for Jewish law, but was flexible enough to admit gentiles into Christian fellowship (acts 15:12-21, 21:18-25). James is widely regarded to have written the Epistle of James, one of the most popular books of the New Testament IMO, due to its practical teaching on christian living and its emphasis on salvation by faith, a faith shown by good works and christian living.

We know little about Jude, other than his name, and that there is the book of Jude in the NT, whose author identifies himself as "a Servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James"

Joses/Joseph we know nothing else about

Same goes for Simon (not to be confused with the apostles Simon Peter and Simon the Canaanite).



There was also a kind of gravestone (Stele?) found in Jerusalem a few years ago, dated from the correct era that may well have belonged to one of Jesus's brothers (I forget which one, possibly James). Naturally it caused a controversy due to the different beliefs regarding Jesus's family held by the Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant churches. A search on the internet should reveal more - was a fascinating find.
