Mark 3:31-35 (ESV)
And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they
sent to him and called him. [32] And a crowd was sitting around him, and they
said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking
you." [33] And he answered them, "Who are my mother and my
brothers?" [34] And looking about at those who sat around him, he said,
"Here are my mother and my brothers! [35] Whoever does the will of God, he
is my brother and sister and mother."
