Who were Jesus' sisters?

In: New Testament, Jesus Christ [Edit categories]

Answer:

The Bible gives us the names of His brothers, does not tell us his sisters' names - all we know is that there were at least 2 of them:-

Mar 6:3 Isn't he the carpenter, the son of Mary? Aren't James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon his brothers? Don't his sisters still live here in our town?" The people were very unhappy because of what he was doing.

It is said in the orthodox Joseph was a widower and had a daughter named Salome no one knew about her because she was old enough to move out of the house when Jesus was born. Probably
He said that all of the women were his sisters.
The bible clearly states Salome as his sister.
Their names were not given in the New Testament.
I doubt he had a sister, as suggested in the bible. There-fore, he did not have a sister. Get your facts straight. Oh my bad Jesus' sister was named Salome. Im sorry!
Jesus had a sister in the bible called Salomi.
