Mark Study Notes—Chapter 3

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 3:34
  
  See, my mother and my brothers!: Jesus here makes a distinction between his natural brothers, some of whom evidently lacked faith in him (Joh 7:5), and his spiritual brothers, his disciples. He shows that regardless of how precious the ties are that bind him to his relatives, his relationship with those who do “the will of God” is even more precious.—Mr 3:35.
