Mark 3:28-35

28 "I assure you that people can be forgiven all their sins and all the evil things they may say.
29 But whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, because he has committed an eternal sin." 1
30 (Jesus said this because some people were saying, "He has an evil spirit in him.")
31 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. They stood outside the house and sent in a message, asking for him.
32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus, and they said to him, "Look, your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, and they want you."
33 Jesus answered, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"
34 He looked at the people sitting around him and said, "Look! Here are my mother and my brothers!
35 Whoever does what God wants is my brother, my sister, my mother."
