Correction... this was in relationship to another verse.
My understanding is that that there is no ancient manuscript evidence for 
"brother of" 
and since I posted this I have learned that the verse section is missing from
the DSS manuscripts ....   (perhaps too many coffee-stains :-) j/k).

Shalom,
