For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:50 Go To Matthew 12
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
De Nat. et Grat., 36: But whatever may be decided concerning these brethren, yet concerning the holy Virgin Mary, (for the honour of Christ,) when sin inher is in question, I would not have it brought into doubt. For from this only we might know that more abundant grace was conferred upon her that she should overcome sin on all sides, because she merited to conceive and bring forth Him Who it is clear had no sin. It follows; “Then said one unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without seeking thee.”
