Matthew 12:46-50

46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, "Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak to you."

48 He asked the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" 49 Then pointing with his hand at his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers, 50 because whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

31 Then his mother and his brothers arrived. Milling around outside, they sent for him, continuously summoning him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him. They told him, "Look! Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you."

33 He answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" 34 Then looking at the people sitting around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."

19 His mother and his brothers came to him, but they couldn't get near him because of the crowd. 20 Jesus was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and want to see you."

21 But he answered those people, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear a message from God and heed it."
