Matthew 12:46-50
Who is my mother? this question was designed to awaken attention, in order more usefully to communicate instruction. Whosoever shall do the will of my Father--is my brother, and sister, and mother; my most intimate and endeared relatives and friends. These words contain a silent but powerful rebuke of the idolatrous honor paid by many to the mother of our Lord. No affection which ever did or can exist between earthly friends, equals in tenderness and strength that which subsists between Christ and those who do the will of his Father.
