Matthew 12:49

Verse 49 of 50. The 12th of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

45Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”

46While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.

47One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”

48But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”

49He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!

50For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
