“And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.”
He replied, my mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice — the redefinition of family: those who hear God's word and put it into practice. The two-part definition (hear and put into practice) mirrors the two-builder parable — the genuine disciple is identified by doing, not merely hearing. The family of God is constituted not by biology but by responsive obedience.
