"Who is My mother and who are My brothers?" (Matt 12:48)

Matthew 12:48 indicates Jesus had biological direct brothers? Please.

Our Lord Jesus contrasted His "mother" and His "brothers" against those who do the will of the Father. If you take the first comparison, "Who is My mother...but those who do the will of My Father." than Christ is pointing out the importance of spiritual ties verses physical ties. Would you agree?
