Mark 3:31-35

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

31 And his mother and his brothers arrived, and standing outside, they sent [word] to him to summon him.

32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers [are] outside looking for you."

33 And he answered them [and] said, "Who is my mother or my brothers?"

34 And looking around at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, "Behold, my mother and my brothers!

35 For whoever does the will of God, this person is my brother and sister and mother."
