( É᾿ùóῆò , perhaps for Joseph, which is sometimes thus written in the Talmud, éåֹñֵé for éåֹñֵ ; see Lightfoot on Act_1:23; and, indeed, É᾿ùóήö actually appears in some codices for É᾿ùóῆò in Matthew, Mark 15, and Acts; but better MSS. have É᾿ùÜííçò in Matthew 13; others have É᾿çóïῦò in Luke), the name of two or three persons in the New Testament.
1. Erroneously in the A.V. (Luk_3:29) JOSE SEE JOSE (q.v.).
2. The son of Mary and Cleopas, and brother of James the Less, of Simon, and of Jude, and, consequently, one of those who are called "the brethren" of our Lord (Mat_13:55; Mat_27:56; Mar_6:3; Mar_15:40; Mar_15:47). SEE JAMES; SEE JUDE. He was the only one of these brethren who was not an apostle – a circumstance which has given occasion to some unsatisfactory conjecture. It is, perhaps, more remarkable that three of them were apostles than that the fourth was not. A.D. 28. — Kitto. SEE JESUS CHRIST.
3. (Act_4:36.) SEE BARNABAS.
