The Bible clearly states that Mary was the mother of at least 2 other men and names them.

Something similar to this was posted a couple days ago, but specifically in reference to Jude.

Jude 1:1 states that he is the brother of James.

Matthew 27:55-56 tells us about the women who follow Jesus to the cross.

Mary Magdalene was one, Mary the mother of James (the less) and Joseph was another, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee, James (the Great) and John.

If we read further in Matthew 27:59-61, we see an account of the Mary's who go to Jesus' tomb.

These are the same two Mary's who were at the foot of the cross in verses 55-56, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, the mother of James the Less and Joseph.

In the Gospel of John, we get another piece of evidence of who Mary, mother of James the Less and Joseph, was.

John 19:25 says she is the sister of Mary (Jesus' mom) and the wife of Clopas.

So James the Less and Joseph are the sons of Clopas and Mary of Clopas. Jude was a brother of James the Less. Therefore, Jude was a first cousin of Jesus, since his mother and Jesus' mother were sisters.

Who is the other named son of Mary that you're referencing?
