Stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!
And glancing at those who were sitting round him in a circle he said, "There are my mother and my brothers!
Nor do I pray for them alone, but for all who believe in me by their spoken word;
Now be quick and go to his disciples, tell them he has risen from the dead and that 'he precedes you to Galilee; you shall see him there.' That is my message for you."
But he replied to the man who told him this, "Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?"
Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven, that is my brother and sister and mother."
