Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

Prayer:

Some of the scribes and Pharisees wanted Jesus to prove who He was by giving them a sign. But He told them that a tree is known by its fruit. He said, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.The Apostle John would later write, "Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he (Yeshua) is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:7-8) But it appears that for now, we must wait until the harvest at the end of this age, for the Son of Man to send out His angels, to gather out of His kingdom all who practice lawlessness, and cast them into the furnace of fire. then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
