Mark 3:31 Commentary - Whedon's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments
§ 45. JESUS’ MOTHER AND BRETHREN; WHO HIS RELATIVES, Mar 3:31-35 .
(See notes on Mat 12:38-45.)
31. There came then his brethren and his mother Fulfilling the purpose they expressed in Mar 3:21. But when they arrived from Nazareth they found him so surrounded as to be unable to get access to him. That the brothers of Jesus disbelieved in him was clearly a fact. But there is no proof that his mother ever doubted his miraculous conception or his divinity. At the first miracle in Cana of Galilee, her faith is impatient for the demonstration of his power, which she truly expected.
