New Testament

Matthew 12:45-50 New Living Translation (NLT)

45. Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation.”

46. As Jesus was speaking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him.

47. Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and they want to speak to you.”

48. Jesus asked, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”

49. Then he pointed to his disciples and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers.

50. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!”
