Matthew 13:56
Jesus apparently had several sisters as well, though we do not know exactly how many. The people of Nazareth knew all of them, and many of the men may have had them for wives. Again, remember that Jesus’ family did not, at this time, accept his role as the Messiah.
One of the biggest things that we easily forget about Christ is that many people rejected him. We always get the idea that everybody would accept him if they could meet him. However, if we are, as his church, living as we should, they have met him. And yet, many fail to accept. Jesus warned us of this, but told us to rejoice over those who do listen.
