Matthew 12:44-50 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

44. “Then it says, ‘I shall return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds it empty, swept, and decorated.

45. “Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

46. And while He was still talking to the crowds, see, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.

47. And one said to Him, “See, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”

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

49. And having stretched out His hand toward His taught ones, He said, “See My mother and My brothers!

50. “For whoever does the desire of My Father who is in the heavens is My brother and sister and mother.”
