I'm just not sure what point you are trying to make.
In other words, why "the first men" are important. I understand that James was basically the first pastor in Jerusalem.
Yes, Mary married Joseph and after Jesus was born, birthed sons and daughters.
Your position about the second husband must be from one of the books I don't accept.
So, I'm still not understanding how and what this has to do with Abraham and Jesus.
Obviously, the risen Christ would have appeared to his family first, and the fist to see the risen Christ, were his mother, 'the wife of Cleophas' and Mary Magdalene, who is believed to have been the wife of Jesus, as all rabbi's in those days were expected to be married, even though Mary, while looking directly at him, didn't recognise who he was until he spoke her name.
The next to see him, was his father Joseph the son of the renowned father, Alexander Helios, Joseph the Hebrew name for the bio father of Jesus, was also called Cleophas (The masculine form of Cleopatra) which name in Greek means (Father of renown,) who was also the father of James the younger brother of Jesus, and was also called Alphaeus, which is the Aramaic for (Father of renown) also.
Neither Cleophas of his son Simeon the half brother of Jesus, were able to recognise the stranger who had walked with them all the way to Emmaus, until Simon saw the manner in which he broke the bread.
It was then that Cleophas the carpenter and father of Jesus, returned to Jerusalem where the disciples, (Which included Simon Peter and Simon the patriot) had locked themselves in a darkened room.
Opening the door for Cleophas and Simon, Cleophas cried out, "He has risen, he appeared to Simon, (Who was Simon of the house of Mary and the carpenter.).
The only disciple not present that evening was Thomas the twin, although it is not known if he was an actual twin, or whether he just held a striking resemblance to one with who he shared a common parent.
It was not uncommon for men of Galilee in those days to carry three names, one in Hebrew, one in Greek, and one in Aramaic. Thomas=Tau’ma, the Aramaic for twin, is also called Didymus, which is the Greek for twin, he is Thomas/twin, Didymus/twin, Jude, the half-brother of Jesus and the son of the carpenter.
Excerpts from “The Acts of Thomas-Wikipedia.”
Acts of Thomas is a series of episodic Acts (Latin
passio) that occurred during the
evangelistic mission of
Judas Thomas ("Judas the Twin") to
India. It ends with his
martyrdom: he dies pierced with spears, having earned the ire of the monarch Misdaeus (
Vasudeva I) because of his conversion of Misdaeus' wives and a relative, Charisius. He was imprisoned while converting Indian followers won through the performing of miracles.
Thomas is often referred to by his name Judas (his full name is
Thomas Judas Didymus), since both
Thomas and
Didymus just mean
twin, and several scholars believe that
twin is just a description, and not intended as a name. The manuscripts end "The acts of Judas Thomas the apostle are completed, which he did in India, fulfilling the commandment of him that sent him. Unto whom be glory, world without end. Amen.".
A local tradition of eastern Syria identifies the Apostle Jude with Jude Thomas who was called ‘The Twin’ also known as Thomas (Aramaic), Didymus (Greek), and Jude (Hebrew.)
Knowing that in ART, Thomas Didymus Jude, the son of Alpheaus/Cleophas, is depicted with a, carpenter’s rule and square. In "The Acts of Thomas, sometimes called by its full name, "The Acts of Judas Thomas," 2nd-3rd century CE, "The Apostles cast lots as to where they should go, and to Thomas, brother to Jesus fell India. Thomas was taken to King Goddophares the ruler of Indo-Pathian Kingdom as an architect and carpenter by Habban.”
Jude, the brother of the Lord according to the flesh, both having the same father, Joseph-cleophas-Alphaeus, who was the son of Alexander Helios/Heli, but born of different wombs, was called the apostle of many names, as he was also called Thaddaeus and Lebbeaus, the Greek and Aramaic words for ‘courageous.’ So Jude the brother of the Lord is the courageous apostle called ‘The Twin,’ and he should not be confused with the apostle whose actual name was ‘Thomas.’
It was while Cleophas and Simon were talking to the apostles that a figure appeared in the darkened, which they recognised as Jesus.
