Matthew 12:44-50 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

44. Then it says, ‘I’ll go back to my house that I came from.’ And returning, it finds the house vacant, swept, and put in order.

45. Then off it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first. That’s how it will also be with this evil generation.”

46. He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly His mother and brothers were standing outside wanting to speak to Him.

47. Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48. But He replied to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers? ”

49. And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

50. For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven, that person is My brother and sister and mother.”
