33 "Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked.
33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
33 And he answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"
33 Jesus responded, "Who do you think are my mother and brothers?"
33 But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?"
33 Jesus replied, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"

Commentary on Mark 3:31-35
(Read Mark 3:31-35)
It is a great comfort to all true Christians, that they are dearer to Christ than mother, brother, or sister as such, merely as relations in the flesh would have been, even had they been holy. Blessed be God, this great and gracious privilege is ours even now; for though Christ's bodily presence cannot be enjoyed by us, his spiritual presence is not denied us.
