Matthew 12

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Send for Him

46 While He was still talking to the multitudes, *Mark 3:31–35; Luke 8:19–21behold, His mother and *Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3; John 2:12; 7:3, 5; Acts 1:14; 1 Cor. 9:5; Gal. 1:19brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. 47 Then one said to Him, "Look, *Matt. 13:55, 56; John 2:12; Acts 1:14Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You."

48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?"49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My *John 20:17; (Rom. 8:29)brothers!50 For *John 15:14; (Gal. 5:6; 6:15; Col. 3:11; Heb. 2:11)whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother."
