Below is an extract of some comments I’ve put down in response to some one who insists Mary had other children and used psalm 69:8 & John 7:5 on another forum

If you have anything to add or comment please do.
  1. Perhaps Take care with psalm 69:8 given this mother and child’s birth are described in ps51:3-5, perhaps you may not want to rely to much on that arrangement for a “type” , given the insinuation for Jesus of being conceived in iniquity.
    But don t get me wrong I take this verse seriously and will continue to think on it. “types” often have holes but are still valid.
Out of interest, I read that in the Talmud, a tradition that gives an explanation for this iniquity. davids father was going thas sleep with another woman to resolve some sort of family lineage issue? The mistress and his wife spoke about it and the wife snuck in to the tent and pretended to be the mistress and David was made. *Father was not very happy. the tradition says that his 7 brothers and the father I think treated him pretty poorly when he grew up because of the drama.
Which is why, aparently David was the last son to be presented to Samuel by davids father.1sam16:10-11

3.also you will also have to leave out**Psalm 69:5*
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and **my sins *are not hid from thee.
We can’t align this with Jesus!

So not every verse and every part of a verse from psalm 69 can be confidently assigned to Jesus, given verse 5 and particularly the implication of psalm 51:3-5 for the mother/son relationship of psalm 69:8

Having said that
I agree with you that **brethren **in psalm 69:8 is a fitting comparison /prophecy to John 7:5

Compare them below (Kjv)
John 7:5 For neither did** his brethren **believe in him.

Psalm 69: 8 I am become a stranger unto** my brethren**, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

something’s missing in john7:5 that is in psalm 69:8
agreed? 2 separate groups in psalm 69:8 and 1 group in john7:5
What group is missing when applied to Mary/Jesus ,? the “mothers children/sons.” of psalm 69
Bear with me.
  1. Look at Psalm 69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches* of them **that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
who are them, with respect to Jesus?
ie who are the brethren of psalm 69:8?
See below

John 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

So the group in question , the brethren in relation to jesus are Shown in John 2:16-18 given the direct quote of psalm 69:9*

And how did they respond to Jesus who made a scourge out of small chords?
See the following verse from john2
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?21 But he spake of the temple of his body.22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

I’ll keep looking…
I hear some say the psalm 69:8 reference to mother is a reference to Israel, but I need to think about that more. And am content to a satisfactory level for now with the above logic.
  1. As a side note, *Joseph is called His father and Jesus is refered to as his son! *John 6:42 and we accept using the bible that they are not biological. I know it is clear as day, but I also see it clearly that Mary is never refered to as a mother of anyone in the bible apart from Jesus.
