Matthew 12:47 BSB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:46-50

Many excellent, useful sayings came from the mouth of our Lord Jesus upon particular occasions; even his digressions were instructive, as well as his set discourses: as here, Observe, I. How Christ was interrupted in his preaching by his mother and his brethren, that stood without, desiring to speak with him (Matt. 12:40, 47); which desire of theirs was conveyed to him through the crowd. It is needless to enquire which of his brethren they were that came along with his mother (perhaps they... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 12:1-50

In Matthew 12:1-50 we read the history of a series of crucial events in the life of Jesus. In every man's life there are decisive moments, times and events on which the whole of his life hinges. This chapter presents us with the story of such a period in the life of Jesus. In it we see the orthodox Jewish religious leaders of the day coming to their final decision regarding Jesus--and that was rejection. It was not only rejection in the sense that they would have nothing to do with him; it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:47

Then one said unto him ,.... Either one of his auditors, or, as the Ethiopic version has it, one "of his disciples": the other evangelists intimate, that more than one acquainted him with it; which is easily reconciled: for, upon his mother and brethren calling to him, as Mark says they did; first one and then another, and more, might apprise him of it, and especially as he did not immediately go out unto them. Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee... read more

The Lord's mother and brethren. I. THEIR INTERVENTION . 1 . The reason of their coming. We know that even later in our Lord's ministry his brethren did not believe in him ( John 7:5 ). They seem to have been Hebrews of the Hebrews, exceedingly zealous of the Law. They had heard, it seems, of the rupture between Christ and the Pharisees. They knew that the Jews at Jerusalem had sought to kill our Lord because of the cure of the impotent man at the Pool of Bethesda on the sabbath... read more

Brotherhood with Christ. It must have been one of the most painful trials in the life of our Lord that none of his relatives except his mother believed in him, and that even she misunderstood him. Instead of supporting his arduous toils, they all did what they could to hinder him. No doubt their motives were kind; they thought he was wearing himself out with too much work; they saw his danger with the authorities, and wished to shield him; they seem to have thought he was beside himself with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 12:46-50

The necessary condition of right personal love. In comparing the accounts as quoted above, one thing first arrests our attention, that while no one of them speaks of more than "mother and brethren" seeking for Jesus, every one of them finds a place in the tenderness of Christ's reply for the introduction of the word "sister." St. Luke's, the shortest account, nevertheless explains precisely how "the press" of people was what prevented the "mother and brethren" of Jesus reaching him; while... read more

Christ's relationships. These, so far as they are set forth in the text, are three, viz. he has a relationship to the world, to the family, and to the Church. Consider, then— I. HIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE WOULD . 1 . He is its Redeemer. 2 . He is its Teacher. II. HIS RELATIONSHIP TO HIS FAMILY . 1 . The family claim was asserted. 2 . It was offensively asserted. 3 . The intrusion was reproved. III. HIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 12:47

Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee . The verse is omitted by the Sinaitic manuscript (original hand), the Vatican, and a few others; also by the Old Syriac and some manuscripts of the Old Latin Version. It is clearly an insertion to bridge over the "seeking" of Matthew 12:46 and "him that told him" of Matthew 12:48 . read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 12:46-50

See also Mark 3:31-35; Luke 8:19-21.His brethren - There has been some difference of opinion about the persons who are referred to here, some supposing that they were children of Mary his mother, others that they were the children of Mary, the wife of Cleophas or Alpheus, his “cousins,” and called “brethren” according to the customs of the Jews. The natural and obvious meaning is, however, that they were the children of Mary his mother. See also Mark 6:3. To this opinion, moreover, there can be... read more
