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

⁴⁶ Now while he was talking to the people, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with him. ⁴⁷ then some body said to him, your mother and your brothers are without, and desire to speak with you.

⁴⁸ but Jesus answered the man that told him, who is my mother? and who are my brothers? ⁴⁹ and holding out his hand towards his disciples, see there, said he, my mother, and my brothers. ⁵⁰ for whosoever shall do the will of my father, who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

³¹ In the mean time his brothers and his mother came there, and not being able to get within hearing, ³² for the crowd about him, they sent him word to come to them. and when they told him, your mother and brothers and sisters are here without enquiring for you,

³³ He answer'd, who is my mother? who are my brothers? ³⁴ and casting his eyes round the company, there, said he, are my mother and my brothers. ³⁵ for he that does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.

¹⁹ One day the mother of Jesus, and his brethren came to speak with him, but could not get near by reason of the crowd. ²⁰ so some of the company said to him, your mother and brethren are waiting without, desiring to see you.

²¹ but he answered them, my mother and brethren are these, who attend to the word of God, and practise it.
