[49] And he stretched forth his hand toward his

Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. |
[43] And he stretched forth his hand toward his
disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! [44] And he gave them charge concerning her,
saying, I go my way, for my Father hath sent me. And whosoever shall do the

mother. |

24:
&
<And> he stretched forth his hand toward his Deciples[.]<,>
& said, behold my mother & my brethren! & <And> he
gave them charge concerning her, saying, I go my way for my father hath sent
