He said this because they said, He has an unclean
spirit.
His brethren and His mother came and, standing outside, they called for
Him. The multitude that sat around Him said, Behold, thy mother and thy
brethren are outside and seek for thee. Jesus answered, Who is my
mother, or my brethren? Then He looked around on those who sat about
Him and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren! Whosoever shall do the
will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
4 Later, as Jesus was again by the seaside, there gathered a
great multitude. He entered into a boat and began to address the large
crowd on shore. He taught them many things by parables. Jesus began,
Hearken. Behold, there went out a sower of seeds. It came to pass, as
he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside. The fowls of the air came and
devoured it. Some seed fell on stony ground where there was no good
soil. It sprang up quickly. But, because it had no roots, it was
scorched by the sunlight and withered away.
Some seed fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked it, and it
yielded no fruit. Other seed fell on good ground. This did yield fruit
that sprang up and increased; and brought forth some thirty, some
sixty, and some a hundredfold. And Jesus finished by saying, He that
has ears to hear, let him hear.
After this, when the twelve were alone with Jesus, they asked Him about
the parable and why He told the people a parable.
