雅各福音书
《雅各福音书》(英语:Gospel of James),又被称为《雅各原始福音书》或《首卷福音书》(Protoevangelium of James,也就是Infancy Gospel of James),是基督教新约外典之一,写作年代大约在公元150年左右,作者题为公义者雅各。它的内容记录了马利亚、他的丈夫约瑟,以及约瑟之子约书亚(耶稣)在幼年时的事迹。
它最大的特色在于强调母亲马利亚的童贞无瑕,并将她视为第二个夏娃;而耶稣的兄弟都其实是约瑟与他已离世的前妻母亲马利亚所生[1] 。

But some say, basing it on a tradition in the Gospel according to Peter, as it is entitled, or "The Book of James," that the brethren of Jesus were sons of Joseph by a former wife, whom he married before Mary. Now those who say so wish to preserve the honour of Mary in virginity to the end, so that that body of hers which was appointed to minister to the Word which said, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee," might not know intercourse with a man after that the Holy Ghost came into her and the power from on high overshadowed her. And I think it in harmony with reason that Jesus was the first-fruit among men of the purity which consists in chastity and Mary among women; for it were not pious to ascribe to any other than to her the first-fruit of virginity.
