“If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,

leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?

One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”

But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”

He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.

Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”

So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and mother.”

He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” They were offended at him.

For John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
