Harmony of the Gospels

Christ's true family

Matthew 12:46-50	Mark 3:31-35	Luke 8:19-21
{46} While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. {47} Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. {48} But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? {49} And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! {50} For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.	{31} There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. {32} And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. {33} And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? {34} And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! {35} For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.	{19} Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. {20} And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. {21} And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
