Joses Was a Relative of Jesus

Question:

Who is Joses in Mark 15:40?

Answer:

Joses, or Joseph, was a relative of Jesus, not a “brother” in the common modern sense, as if his Blessed Mother had had other children (see Mark 6:3). For more on this subject, read this Catholic Answer Magazine article and this tract on “The Brethren of the Lord.” See also this more recent magazine article.
