Who he was

Joses, also known as Joseph, was one of the brothers of Jesus Christ and a son of Mary. He is mentioned by name in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew. In Mark 6:3 and Matthew 13:55, Joses/Joseph is listed along with James, Judas (or Jude), and Simon as Jesus' brothers. He was likely born after Jesus, as Jesus is referred to as Mary's firstborn (Luke 2:7).
