Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things? And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his home town, and in his own household." See also the parallel verses in Mark 6:3-4. Some Catholics undergo contortions to assign these sons and daughters to another Mary, but in full context that is clearly impossible.
