46While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him.47Someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.”48But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?”49And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers!50“For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.”

31Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sentwordto Him and called Him.32A crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.”33Answering them, He said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”34Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers!35“For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”

19And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.20And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.”21But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
