Jesus went back home with his disciples, and such a large crowd had gathered
that they did not even have chance to eat. When Jesus’ family heard what he was
doing, they set out to take him away with them, convinced he was out of his mind.
Some teachers of the law came down from Jerusalem and were disapproving and
complaining about him. They falsely and foolishly claimed that Jesus’ powers were not
from God, but that he was using evil powers to heal people. Then Jesus’ concerned
mother and brothers arrived outside and sent in a message asking for him to come
out to them. A crowd was sitting round Jesus at the time the message was passed
to him, ‘Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you.’ Jesus
replied, ‘Who is my mother and who are my brothers?’ And looking round at those
sitting around him, he said, ‘These people are also my mother and my brothers and
sisters. Anyone who does the will of God is my brother or sister or mother.’
