matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. - Free Bible Online
matthew 12:47 And someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You."
47. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee, &c.--Absorbed in the awful warnings He was pouring forth, He felt this to be an unseasonable interruption, fitted to dissipate the impression made upon the large audience--such an interruption as duty to the nearest relatives did not require Him to give way to. But instead of a direct rebuke, He seizes on the incident to convey a sublime lesson, expressed in a style of inimitable condescension.
