Markus 3:34 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:34

And he looked round about on them which sat about him
To find out his disciples among them, and point them out particularly, by stretching forth his hand towards them: and said,

behold my mother and my brethren:
not in a natural, but in a spiritual sense; his mother, because, in regeneration, he was formed in them; his brethren, because, by adoption, his God was their God, his Father their Father; (See Gill on Matthew 12:49).

Markus 3:34 In-Context

32 En de schare zat rondom Hem; en zij zeiden tot Hem: Zie, Uw moeder en Uw broeders daar buiten zoeken U.

33 En Hij antwoordde hun, zeggende: Wie is Mijn moeder, of Mijn broeders?

34 En rondom overzien hebbende, die om Hem zaten, zeide Hij: Ziet, Mijn moeder en Mijn broeders.

35 Want zo wie den wil van God doet, die is Mijn broeder, en Mijn zuster, en moeder.
