Mark 3:33
And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
And he answered them,.... The multitude that sat about him, and informed him of his mother and brethren being without, and desirous of speaking with him:
saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? which is said not through ignorance or contempt, but either, as displeased with the interruption given him; or with a view to take an opportunity from hence of expressing his superior value to his spiritual relations; which looks with no favourable aspect on the superstitious notions, and veneration of the virgin Mary among the papists;
See Gill on "Matthew 12:48".
