Euen so shal it be also vnto this wicked generation. 46¶ While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speake with him. 47Then one saide vnto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speake with thee. 48But he answered, and said vnto him that told him, Who is my mother? And who are my brethren?
