18 Jesus' Genuine family

The story of His family coming to get Him continues here in verse thirty-one to the end of chapter three. The crowds again pressed upon Him and His apostles that they had no quiet time to even eat. The message of people accusing Him of being insane had reached His family and they had come to investigate. At first when His ministry began His family did not believe who He was (John 7:5). Later they would believe (Acts 1:14) and Jude as well as James His brothers wrote books in the New Testament. James became the bishop of Jerusalem and presided over the first world wide Church Council (Acts 15:1-16).
