In this passage, Jesus redefines the concept of family. While He is speaking to a crowd, His mother and brothers arrive, asking to speak with Him. Instead of immediately responding to their call, Jesus uses the moment to teach a profound truth: those who do the will of His Father in heaven are His true family. This declaration emphasizes the spiritual bond between believers and the importance of obedience to God’s will over earthly ties.
