What does the Bible say about the family of Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that Jesus' true family includes those who hear and obey God's word, rather than just his earthly relatives.

In Luke 8:19-21, Jesus redefines his family, emphasizing that those who hear the word of God and do it are his true brethren. This statement reflects a shift in focus from biological ties to spiritual relationships, suggesting that faith and obedience forge a more significant bond than mere lineage. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus illustrates that his mission and divine duty take precedence over earthly family connections, which culminates in the establishment of the spiritual family of believers.
