31 Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,
And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude, and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;' and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'
And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him, and one said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, seeking to speak to thee.' And he answering said to him who spake to him, `Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?' And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, `Lo, my mother and my brethren! for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.'
