Matthew 12:44-50 ▼

44 Then it says, 'I will go back to my home that I left.' When it arrives, it finds it empty, swept clean, and put in order.

45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and settle there. And so the final condition of that person becomes worse than the first. That's just what will happen to this evil generation!|

46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him.

47 Someone told him, |Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak to you.|

48 He asked the man who told him, |Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?|

49 Then pointing with his hand at his disciples, he said, |Here are my mother and my brothers,

50 because whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.|
