And looking about at those who were sitting in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!
I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the congregation.
Then Jesus told them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see Me there.”
He replied to them, “Who are My mother and My brothers? ”
And He was amazed at their unbelief. Now He was going around the villages in a circuit, teaching.
“Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and tell them that I am ascending to My Father and your Father — to My God and your God.”
For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
