Who he was
Joses, also known as Joseph, was one of the sons of "the other" Mary (Matt 28.1 with Mark 16:1). He is the brother of James "the Less" (or "the younger" - Mark 15:40) who is traditionally identified with James the son of Alphaeus, who would therefore be Mary's husband. Thsi may be the same Alphaeus who is the father of Matthew, though this is uncertain. His mother Mary was present at the crucifixion, burial, and discovery of the empty tomb (Matthew 27:56; Mrk.15.40, 47).
