Matthew 12:46-50 - Jesus' Mother And Brothers

Matthew 12:46-50

46 While Jesus was still speaking to the large crowds, His mother and [half-] brothers were standing outside [of the large house. See 13:1] wanting to speak to Him. 47 Someone [from the crowd] said to Him, "Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you."

48 He answered the person who told Him, "[Just] who is my mother? And who are my brothers?" 49 Then He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Look, [here is] my mother and my brothers!" 50 "For whoever will do what my Father in heaven desires, is my brother and sister and mother."

Mark 3:31-35

31 Then Jesus' mother and [half-] brothers came and stood outside [i.e., of a large house. See Matt. 12:46-13:1]. They sent a message to Him, asking Him to come out to them. 32 Someone in the large crowd that was sitting around Him said to Him, "Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you."

33 He answered them, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?" 34 Then He looked out over those gathered around Him and said, "Look, [here is] my mother and my brothers 35 For whoever will do what God wants, that person is my brother, and sister and mother."

Luke 8:19-21

19 Then Jesus' mother and [half-] brothers came to Him, but they could not get near Him because of the [large] crowd. 20 And it was told to Him [by someone], "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside wanting to see you."

21 But He replied to them, "My mother and my brothers are those people who hear God's word and obey it."
