Matthew 12:46-50

New International Reader's Version

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

⁴⁶ While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside. They wanted to speak to him. ⁴⁷ Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside. They want to speak to you.”

⁴⁸ Jesus replied to him, “Who is my mother? And who are my brothers?” ⁴⁹ Jesus pointed to his disciples. He said, “Here is my mother! Here are my brothers! ⁵⁰ Anyone who does what my Father in heaven wants is my brother or sister or mother.”
