On the contrary to what?

Christ is saying that following His teachings is more important than biological relationship.

Notice He did not call on us to deprecate her submission to His will in her consent given as “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.”

"On the contrary" is a (poor) translation selected to try to make your point.

T'ain't working.
