[af_vet_1981]

The people in vv46-47 are either Mary and His brothers or they are not and only mean those who follow Him as noted in vv48-50.:

In the scriptures the relationships are in reference to Him, not her. There is no mention of other "children of Mary," "sons of Mary," or "daughters of Mary."

The only time blessed Mary has any other children is at the cross.

One can ask
1. Am I related to the Messiah as a mother or brethren too ?
2. Have I been to the cross too ?
3. Am I the disciple the Messiah loves too ?
4. Is blessed Mary my mother too ?

While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

...

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

There is no mention of other "children of Mary," "sons of Mary," or "daughters of Mary."

Then why does Rome want us ALL to be?
