and Josiah ¹  the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

¹  Someone ²  told him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside wanting ³  to speak to you.”

To the one who had said this, Jesus ¹  replied, ²  “Who is my mother and who are my brothers?”

And pointing ¹  toward his disciples he said, “Here ²  are my mother and my brothers!

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is ¹  my brother and sister and mother.”

But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers.

Then ¹  Jesus’ ²  mother and his brothers ³  came. Standing ⁴  outside, they sent word to him, to summon him.

And looking at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, “Here ¹  are my mother and my brothers!

For whoever does the will of God is ¹  my brother and sister and mother.”

He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James, ¹  and John, the brother of James.

For John had repeatedly told ¹  Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” ² 

There were seven brothers. The first one married, ¹  and when he died he had no children.

Simon ¹  (whom he named Peter), and his brother Andrew; and James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, ² 

Now Jesus’ ¹  mother and his brothers ²  came to him, but ³  they could not get near him because of the crowd.

So ¹  he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”

Then ¹  someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell ²  my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman ¹  and died without children.

One of Jesus’ disciples, ¹  Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,

so many of the Jewish people of the region ¹  had come to Martha and Mary to console them ²  over the loss of their brother.) ³ 

And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance, ¹  as your rulers did too.
