Even while He was speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers came to Him; and they could not get to Him on account of the crowd. And standing outside, they sent to Him calling Him and seeking to speak to Him. Now a crowd was sitting around him, and they say to Him, "Behold, Thy mother and Thy brothers stand outside, desiring to see Thee and to speak to Thee."

But He, answering, said to them that told Him, "Who is My mother? And who are My brothers?" And looking round about on those sitting around Him, and stretching forth His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold, My mother and My brothers. My mother and My brothers are these who hearand do the word of God. For whosoever shall do the will of My Father Who is in heaven, the same is My brother and sister and mother."
