New Century Version

Jesus’ True Family

⁴⁶ While Jesus was talking to the people, his mother and brothers stood outside, trying to find a way to talk to him. ⁴⁷ Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, and they want to talk to you.”^[a]

⁴⁸ He answered, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” ⁴⁹ Then he pointed to his followers and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. ⁵⁰ My true brother and sister and mother are those who do what my Father in heaven wants.”
