John 7 5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.  -kjv 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.  -niv 5 (For not even His brothers believed in Him.)  -hcsb Observations and Comments:

  1. Jesus' own brothers doubt Jesus'  professions and teachings.

  2. People who are familiar with Jesus's background growing up as a boy turned out to be the most resistant to his teachings and professions. This is probably true as a person tries to evangelize to his/her closest kins.

  3. Miracles performed by Jesus or the news of them did not persuade his brothers to believe either.

  4. For James, it took a personal resurrection to convince him as in 1 Corinthians 15:7
