John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Mark 3:34

Looking round on them who sat about him — With the utmost sweetness; He said, Behold my mother and my brethren — In this preference of his true disciples even to the Virgin Mary, considered merely as his mother after the flesh, he not only shows his high and tender affection for them, but seems designedly to guard against those excessive and idolatrous honours, which he foresaw would in after ages be paid to her.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Mark 3:34

(6) And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

(6) The spiritual family is larger than the biological family.
