Joses () is a name, usually regarded as a form of Joseph, occurring many times in the New Testament: Joses, one of the four "brothers" of Jesus () Joses or Joseph, son of a Mary of Clopas and brother of a James (James the Less according to Mark 15:40), mentioned in Mark 15:40, Mark 15:47, and Matthew 27:56 Joses or Joseph, the real name of Barnabas according to Acts 4:36 There is also a Ἰησοῦ or a Ἰωσή (Jose, Joshua or Jesus) in Luke 3:29
== Etymology == Joses is a short Greek form of Joseph. Unlike Greek Joseph, however, which remains frozen as Joseph in all grammatical cases, Joses functions like a true Greek name and is declined in Greek, taking the ending '' in the genitive case, hence Jose/Josetos'' (/), 'of Joses'.
