Did Jesus have siblings?

Jesus knew Luke 4:

24 "Truly I tell you," he continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown."

Jesus was getting popular but his family didn't believe him. Mark 3:

20 Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. 21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”

Some months later, he was getting too popular. His enemies wanted to kill Jesus, John 7:

1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.

That was serious. Still, no sympathy from his half-brothers:

2 "Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was near. therefore His brothers said to Him, 'Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.' 5 For not even His brothers were believing in Him."

What kind of home brothers were these?

I don't think his brothers were being facetious. I think it was a case of sibling jealousy. They dared him to go to Jerusalem, where the Jewish leaders were expecting him:

11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?”
12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.”
Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.” 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.

For his brothers, it was a case of familiarity that breeds contempt.

After Jesus died on the cross, James, one of his half-brothers, did have a change of heart.
