Jesus had a brother?
Salaam Aleikum,
The Bible acknowledges that Jesus had brothers, Thomas and James. James was the leader of the Nazarene Church in Jerusalem, he was killed by the Priestorder of the Jews. He is buried in Jerusalem. This is a known place. So to find a 'coffin' is probably a hoax as no one would make such a big mistake as claiming a grave which is already commonly known to be somehwere else. Whatever it is, history doesn't deny at all Jesus had brothers or a father.
In Christian History and Scriptures, the family of Jesus, and even his children are not denied at all. Also the Gospel clearly mentions Joseph being the father of Jesus. The idea of the Godlike-nature of Jesus, a virginbirth and so on, only came into development 100 years after Jesus by the Mithra-cult.

Surely Quran affirms that Jesus had Brother
6:87 And We gave distinction to some of their ancestors, fathers, children, siblings and brothers and guided them to the Straight Path. (Ref: Arnold Yasin Mol)
