MATTHEW 12:48 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?”
But he replied to the man who told him: who is my mother, and who are my brothers? The question — who is my mother, and who are my brothers — is not a rejection of Mary or the brothers but a redefinition of the category. The question opens the space for the answer that the next verse provides: the natural family relationship is not the ultimate bond; the bond created by doing the will of the Father is.
