⁴⁶ While he was still speaking to the crowds,* behold, his mother and brothers were standing outside seeking to speak to him. ⁴⁷ But someone said to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to you.* ⁴⁸ But he answered and said to the one saying this to him: Who is my mother, and who are my brothers? ⁴⁹ And he stretched out his hand over his disciples and said: Behold, my mother and my brothers, ⁵⁰ for whoever does* the will of my father in the heavens is himself my brother and sister and mother.	²⁰ And he comes into the house; and the crowd comes with him again, so that they could not even eat bread. ²¹ And, when those about him heard, they went out to seize him, for they were saying that he was beside himself. [....] ³¹ And his mother and his brothers come, and standing outside they sent to him,* calling him. ³² And a crowd* sat around him, and they say to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers and your sisters seek you* outside. ³³ And he answered and says to them: Who is my mother and my brothers? ³⁴ And he looked about at those sitting around him in a circle and says: Behold, my mother and my brothers, ³⁵ for whoever does* the will of God, this is my brother and sister and mother.	¹⁹ But his mother and brothers arrived to him* and they could not reach him on account of the crowd.* ²⁰ But it was announced to him: Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see you.* ²¹ But he answered and said toward them: My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do* it.

⁴⁶ While he was still
speaking to the crowds,*
behold, his
mother and brothers
were
standing
outside

seeking to speak
to him.

⁴⁷ But someone
said to him:
Behold, your mother

are standing
outside, seeking to
speak to you.*
⁴⁸ But he answered
and said to the one
saying this to him:
Who is my mother,
and who are my brothers?
⁴⁹ And he
stretched out his hand
over his disciples
and said:
Behold, my mother
and my brothers,
⁵⁰ for whoever
does* the will
of my father
in the heavens
is himself my brother
and sister
and mother.

²⁰ And he comes
into the house;
and the crowd comes
with him again, so that
they could not even
eat bread.
²¹ And, when those
about him heard, they
went out to seize him,
for they were saying that
he was beside himself.

looked about at those
sitting around him
in a circle and says:
Behold, my mother

³⁵ for whoever
does* the will
of God,

this is my brother

¹⁹ But his
mother and brothers
arrived to him*
and they could not

reach
him on account of
the crowd.*

²⁰ But it was
announced to him:
Your mother
and your brothers

are standing
outside, wishing to
see you.*
²¹ But he answered
and said
toward them:

My mother

are these who hear
