As it regards earthly ties I feel to say as Jesus said Who is my brother my Sister and my mother but they that do the will of my FatherMatt 12:46 ¶While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Matt 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. Matt 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? Matt 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! Matt 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mark 3:31 ¶There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. Mark 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. Mark 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? Mark 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. Luke 8:19 ¶Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. Luke 8:20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. Luke 8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. I call no man Father. Now but God is my FatherMatt 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Anna.
