Now who is making stuff up?

Mary and His siblings tried to stop Him from preaching?

His siblings denied Him?

Jesus rebuked His siblings from the cross?

His siblings were saved later?

Really?

Love,
O2

You asked, "Mary and His siblings tried to stop Him from preaching? "

Have you thought about the rebuke Jesus gave to all of them, His Mother included, when they came and asked others to have Him 'step outside'?

You further opined, querying "His siblings denied Him? If you are familiar with the New Testament, that one you can answer for yourself.

And you asked, "His siblings were saved later? " As we read in the New Testament, at least some of His siblings became believers, proclaiming the Gospel of Grace. This means they did what God requires, as offered by JESUS in John 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."

With only a little reasoning, it is apparent that the siblings were not at the execution yet The Mother of Jesus was. You would prefer this assignation of His Mother to the care of John is because she had no surviving children or husband. I do not believe that to be the case, based upon the passages which refer to His Mother and brothers and sisters. Those identities would not have been a confusion to people living in the area and having experience for decades with the family of Joseph and Mary.

When Mary went to see Elizabeth, how was Elizabeth identified in the scriptures?

It would be an insult to Mary to call her 'just another Jewish girl who got pregnant' but it is also a huge insult to Her to assign authorities and powers which the Bible does not relate.
