Evangélium szent Máté Apostol kőnyvéből
!Matt 12:46-50
Azon időben amíg Jézus beszélt a néphez, megálltak kint anyja és rokonai, s beszélni akartak vele. És így tovább.

Homily by Pope St Gregory the Great.
!3rd on the Gospels.
Dearly beloved brethren The gospel which is read this day is but very short, but it is heavy with great mysteries. Here Jesus, our Maker and Redeemer, feigneth Himself as though He knew not His Own Mother, and telleth who they be who are His mother and brethren, not by fleshly kinship, but by kinship of mind. Who is My Mother And who are My brethren Whosoever shall do the will of My Father, Which is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother. By the which words, what are we to understand, save that He gathereth together from out of Heathendom many that are willing to obey His commandments, and that He knoweth not Jewry, whereof, according to the flesh, He is a son.
