NETBible

While Jesus¹ was still speaking to the crowds,² his mother and brothers³ came and⁴ stood outside, asking⁵ to speak to him.

NET Notes

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

²tn Grk “crowds, behold, his mother.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

³sn 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.

⁴tn “His mother and brothers came and” is a translation of “behold, his mother and brothers came.”

⁵tn Grk “seeking.”
