28. I tell you the truth. All sins that people do can be forgiven. And all the bad things people say against God can be forgiven.
29. But any person who says bad things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. He is guilty of a sin that continues forever.”
30. Jesus said this because the teachers of the law said that Jesus had an evil spirit inside him.
31. Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. They stood outside and sent someone in to tell him to come out.
32. Many people were sitting around Jesus. They said to him, “Your mother and brothers are waiting for you outside.”
33. Jesus asked, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
34. Then Jesus looked at those sitting around him. He said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!
35. My true brother and sister and mother are those who do the things God wants.”
