Luke 8:21

God's wordObedienceFellowship and the church

19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20 He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22 One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

23 As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
