This is confusing: is "Cleophas" a first or a family name ( eg Mr. Cleophas)? Second, is this Mr./Cleophas married to a Mary AND father of a daughter also named Mary? Third, WHICH Joseph are we talking about, of Arimathea, or simply the brother of Mary and sone of his mother, also a Mary? Where else is this Joseph mentioned in the Gospels (if it isn't Joseph of Arimathea)?

In other words, is the following staement true: Cleophas (who met Christ on the road to Emmaus) was married to Mary. They had three children: 1) a daughter (also named) Mary, who stood at the Cross with Mary Magdalene and Our Lady (the "three Marys"). 2) a son, James (the "Less", one of the Apostles). A son, Joseph ( . . not to be confused with Joseph of Nazareth, of course, nor with Joseph of Arimathea).

Thanks for your time.
