Interesting as others have said the same in some Jewish texts he is referred to as a mamza and of questionable parentage
Brown’s Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus may be the most provocative comic book published this year. Beginning as a series of short Bible stories, many of them with a sexual edge—Tamar grappling with her husband, Onan, Bathsheba’s affair with King David—it gradually transforms into a polemic. Drawing variously on academic scholarship, apocryphal texts, and his own keen interpretative eye, Brown argues that Jesus’ mother was a prostitute—and that Jesus’ own appreciation of prostitution was suppressed by later authors.
Though he tells familiar stories, Brown often pushes them in surprising—and sometimes even shocking—directions. In one especially memorable sequence, he suggests that the anointment of Jesus described in all four gospels may have been sexual. Jesus’ feet are central to some versions of the tale, and contemporary references to “feet,” Brown claims, are sometimes euphemisms for the penis
