For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother." — Matthew 12:46–50, emphasis added by Bailey [ 11 ] Bailey argues that according to Middle Eastern customs, Jesus could not properly have gestured to a crowd of men and said, "Here are my brother, and sister, and mother."
The Gospel of Matthew never uses that title to refer to Jesus, though the Gospel of Luke does so. [6] This verse contains a collection Matthew favourite phrases, such as "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Father in Heaven." Gundry notes that "enter the kingdom of heaven" appears three other times in the Gospel, at Matthew 5:20, 18:3, and 23:13. [7]
Christ in the House of Martha and Mary by Tintoretto, 1570s. Jesus at the home of Martha and Mary, in art usually called Christ in the House of Martha and Mary, and other variant names, is a Biblical episode in the life of Jesus in the New Testament which appears only in Luke's Gospel (Luke 10:38–42), immediately after the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37).

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life". [1] ACOG 1JN 1:7 1 John 1:7: But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin." [10] AccuPin
The second meaning implies that Jesus, speaking in the open air, pointed to some birds nearby while speaking these lines. Birds of the sky literally translates as "birds in heaven," but this was a common expression for birds in flight through the air and does not imply the birds were with God. There are several debates over this verse.
This is justified by the fact that cousins were also called brothers and sisters in Jesus's native language, Aramaic, which, like Biblical Hebrew, does not contain a word for cousin. [90] Furthermore, the Greek words adelphos and adelphe were not restricted to the meaning of a literal brother or sister in the Bible, nor were their plurals. [89]
