Mark 3:31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. Luke 8:19 Then came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. Matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. Mark 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. Luke 8:20 And it was told him [by certain] which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. Matthew 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? Mark 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? Luke 8:21 And he answered and said unto them, Matthew 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! Mark 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
