Jesus’ True Family
12:46While Jesus77 was still speaking to the crowds,78 his mother and brothers79 came and80 stood outside, asking81 to speak to him.
Footnotes
- 77 Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 78 Grk “crowds, behold, his mother.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis ( 1).
- 79 The issue of whether Jesus had brothers (siblings) has had a long history in the church. Epiphanius, in the 4th century, argued that Mary was a perpetual virgin and had no offspring other than Jesus. Others argued that these brothers were really cousins. Nothing in the text suggests any of this. See also John 7:3.
- 80 “His mother and brothers came and” is a translation of “behold, his mother and brothers came.”
- 81 Grk “seeking.”
