Brother:
(1.) In the natural and common sense (Mat 1:2; Luk 3:1,19).
(2.) A near relation, a cousin (Gen 13:8; 14:16; Mat 12:46; Jhn 7:3; Act 1:14; Gal 1:19).
(3.) Simply a fellow-countryman (Mat 5:47; Act 3:22; Hbr 7:5).
(4.) A disciple or follower (Mat 25:40; Hbr 2:11,12).
(5.) One of the same faith (Amo 1:9; Act 9:30; 11:29; 1Cr 5:11); whence the early disciples of our Lord were known to each other as brethren.
(6.) A colleague in office (Ezr 3:2; 1Cr 1:1; 2Cr 1:1).
(7.) A fellow-man (Gen 9:5; 19:7; Mat 5:22,23,24; 7:5; Hbr 2:17).
(8.) One beloved or closely united with another in affection (2Sa 1:26; Act 6:3; 1Th 5:1). Brethren of Jesus (Mat 1:25; Mar 3:31,32; Gal 1:19; 1Cr 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.
