NETBible

Now Jesus’¹ mother and his brothers² came to him, but³ they could not get near him because of the crowd.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “his”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²sn The issue of whether Jesus had brothers (siblings) has had a long history in the church. Epiphanius, in the 4th century, argued that Mary was a perpetual virgin and had no offspring other than Jesus. Others argued that these brothers were really cousins. Nothing in the text suggests any of this. See also John 7:3.

³tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
