On Saturday afternoon, December 3, of this year, death for the second time struck at this Nazareth family. Complications attended the birth of this, the seventh child. Jesus' second sister, Martha, was born Thursday night, September 13. His third brother, Simon, was born on Friday evening, April 14, of this year, A.D. The fourth member of the Nazareth family, Joseph, was born Wednesday morning, March 16, A.D. He greatly enjoyed his little brother and his baby sister and was of great help to Mary in their care. And the child Jesus heartily entered into all these natural and normal home experiences. So fully was he occupied that he had found no time to build a cradle for James, but this was corrected long before Miriam came, so that she had a very comfortable crib in which to nestle while the family admired her. Since returning to Nazareth, theirs had been a busy household, and Joseph had been unusually occupied building his new shop and getting his business started again. During the evening of the following day Jesus had a long talk with his father concerning the manner in which various groups of living things are born into the world as separate individuals. In this year, 2 B.C., a little more than one month before his fifth birthday anniversary, Jesus was made very happy by the coming of his sister Miriam, who was born on the night of July 11. Jesus was thrilled by the thought of having a baby brother, and he would stand around by the hour just to observe the baby's early activities.
