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

⁴⁶ While He was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and His brothers had taken their stand outside, trying hard to get to speak to Him. ⁴⁷ Omitted Text.

⁴⁸ But He answered the man who told Him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" ⁴⁹ And with a gesture toward His disciples He said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. ⁵⁰ For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my mother and sister and brother."

³¹ Then His mother and His brothers came. They were standing outside and sent word to call Him. ³² And a crowd was sitting around Him when they told Him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you."

³³ He answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" ³⁴ Then looking around at the people sitting about 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 see Him, but they could not get in touch with Him, on account of the crowd. ²⁰ So it was reported to Him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside; they want to see you."

²¹ Then He answered them, "My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God's message and practice it."
