SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:48
Y respondiendo l al que le decía esto , dijo: ¿Quin es mi madre y quines son mis hermanos?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:48
Verse 48. Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?] The reason of this seeming disregard of his relatives was this: they came to seize upon him, for they thought he was distracted. See Mark iii. 33.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 48. But he answered and said unto him that told him , etc.] Of his mother and brethren being without doors, desiring, and waiting to speak to him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? These questions are put, not as if he himself was ignorant who were his mother or his brethren; or as suggesting as if he had none; or as denying that these were in such a relation to him; or as casting any slight upon them; or as intending to teach men disrespect to parents and kindred, according to the flesh; but as displeased with the man, or men, for interrupting him in his work; and to let them know, that the business of his heavenly Father was preferred by him to any his natural relations could have with him; and that he might have an opportunity of pointing out who were his relations in a spiritual sense.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 46-50 - Christ's preaching was plain, easy, and familiar, and suited to his hearers. His mother and brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him, when they should have been standing within, desiring to hear him Frequently, those who are nearest to the means of knowledge and grac are most negligent. We are apt to neglect that which we think we ma have any day, forgetting that to-morrow is not ours. We often meet with hinderances in our work from friends about us, and are taken off by care for the things of this life, from the concerns of our souls Christ was so intent on his work, that no natural or other duty too him from it. Not that, under pretence of religion, we may be disrespectful to parents, or unkind to relations; but the lesser duty must stand by, while the greater is done. Let us cease from men, an cleave to Christ; let us look upon every Christian, in whateve condition of life, as the brother, sister, or mother of the Lord of glory; let us love, respect, and be kind to them, for his sake, an after his example __________________________________________________________________
