^46 (A)While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His ^(B)mother and ^(C)brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. ^47 [a]Now someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.” ⁴⁸ But ^[b]Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” ⁴⁹ And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! ⁵⁰ For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
