Mark

Mark 3:31–35

³¹Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him, ³²and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers^h are outside, asking for You.”

³³But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?” ³⁴Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! ³⁵For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”
