He answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these: the ones who listen to the word of God and act on it.”
In context
19His mother and his brothers came to him, and they could not reach him because of the crowd. 20Word was passed to him: “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” 21He answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these: the ones who listen to the word of God and act on it.” 22One day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us cross to the far side of the lake.” So they put out, 23and as they sailed he fell asleep. A squall swept down on the lake; the boat was filling with water and they were in danger.
