Did Jesus have brothers?

[Sacratus]

Luke 2:6While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth.

7And she (A)gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn

What I understand from this verses are Mary born her first son Jesus. But according to Catholic faith Jesus has no brothers but cousins. Could you please enlighten me?
