While Jesus was still talking to the people, his mother and his brothers wanted to speak to him and they waited outside. So someone said to him, «Your mother and your brothers are just outside; they want to speak with you». Jesus answered, «Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?». Then He pointed to his disciples and said, «Look! Here are my mother and my brothers. Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is for me brother, sister, or mother».

Analysis
Today's passage is another repeat passage, and I'll only add what I see is needed to be added. Again, this passage holds an important message regarding Jesus and His connection with the world. Here, it is clear that Jesus is quite unconnected with the world, even to His close ones, of blood even. Instead He is close to those who shares His mission and desires, that is salvation of the world and of the truth, that is those who He truly connects with. This shows the desperation of Christ and darkness of His life, a lonely and despaired life, yet He keeps fighting to accomplish His mission. We ought to reflect what we have done in this world to alleviate His suffering, have we? That is all I have to say, have a nice day and see you tomorrow.
