Mateo 12:47

47 Y le dijo uno: He aquí tu madre y tus hermanos están fuera, que te quieren hablar.

Mateo 12:47 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 12:47

Then one said unto him
Either one of his auditors, or, as the Ethiopic version has it, one "of his disciples": the other evangelists intimate, that more than one acquainted him with it; which is easily reconciled: for, upon his mother and brethren calling to him, as Mark says they did; first one and then another, and more, might apprise him of it, and especially as he did not immediately go out unto them.

Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak
with thee:
whether this message was carried at the request of the mother and brethren of Christ, and delivered in a simple manner, and with an honest intention; or whether it was officiously done, and with a design to interrupt him, and to try him, whether he would prefer his natural relations, and their society and conversation, to the spiritual work in which he was engaged, in doing good to the souls of men, is not certain; the latter seems probable, from the following words, and conduct of Christ. Some copies read, "desiring to see thee".

Mateo 12:47 In-Context

45 Entonces va, y toma consigo otros siete espíritus peores que él, y entrados, moran allí; y son peores las postrimerías del tal hombre que las primeras. Así también acontecerá a esta generación mala.
46 Y estando él aún hablando a la multitud, he aquí su madre y sus hermanos estaban fuera, que le querían hablar.
47 Y le dijo uno: He aquí tu madre y tus hermanos están fuera, que te quieren hablar.
48 Y respondiendo él al que le decía esto , dijo: ¿Quién es mi madre y quiénes son mis hermanos?
49 Y extendiendo su mano hacia sus discípulos, dijo: He aquí mi madre y mis hermanos.
