The Lord of the Sabbath, the Servant of the Lord, and the Crisis of Unbelief
Matthew moves from Sabbath controversy in the grainfields, to Sabbath healing in the synagogue, to Isaiah’s Servant fulfillment, to the Beelzebul accusation and Jesus’ warning about blasphemy against the Spirit, to teaching on words and the heart, to the sign of Jonah and judgment against the generation, to the danger of empty reform, and finally to the true family of Jesus.
Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources
46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.
47 Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”
48 But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”
49 Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.
50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
