The earlier post mentioned that Hebrew(Aramaic) had no word for cousin, so words like 'brother' were used (I hope I am paraphrasing you correctly), explaining the references to His family in the gospels. I believe Galatians would have been orginally in Greek, but if I am wrong in that assumption, I'm sure that some helpful soul will correct me :-) -- -catt (cattanac@cs.uiuc.edu) [Yup. --clh]
