Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside. They want to see you.”
Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son? Isn’t this the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” They were not pleased with him at all.
Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him. But they could not get near him because of the crowd.
He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and do what it says.”
They all came together regularly to pray. The women joined them too. So did Jesus’ mother Mary and his brothers.
Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife with us when we travel? The other apostles do. The Lord’s brothers do. Peter does.
I didn’t see any of the other apostles. I only saw James, the Lord’s brother.
