 JOSES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Joses is one of the brothers of Jesus mentioned in the Gospel of Mark 6:3 and its parallel passage in Matthew 13:54 - 57.
The primary meaning of the text would be clear and sufficient, were it not for the dogma of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, not directly attested in the New Testament, which developed during the 2nd century and later became dogma of the Roman Catholic Church.
In Acts of the Apostles, when lots are cast for a successor to Judas Iscariot, Matthias is chosen from among those gathered together; the one not chosen was 'Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus)'.
