The New Testament makes many references alluding to the claim that Mary had more children than just Jesus.

In Matthew 13:55 for example, the Bible states "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?"

John 2:12 states "After this, He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and there they stayed a few days."

In Acts 1:14 the Bible says "These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers."

Mark 6:3 mentions sisters, asking "Are not His sisters here with us?"

It appears likely that Jesus had many siblings. Do these Bible passages contradict other Biblical statements referring to Mary as "the virgin?" Or is a different kind of purity being implied?

I remember that during a darshan (Q&A) in the Mother’s Day Weekend in Houston event Mother Mary stated that she had 22 grandchildren and I also remember hearing that she had 7 children (it might have been during the Meru University Class 901 Abiding within the City of God)
So to answer your question, she did have other children; she had you and me

Yes Mario; me too; I remember that Mother Mary said she had six children and Jesus....then seven children. Some of them are in encarnation now; others of them already have had their ascension.
