brethren

And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

And he looked round about on them which sate about him, and saide, Behold my mother and my brethren.

And Iesus answered, and said, Uerily I say vnto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the Gospels,

But hee shall receiue an hundred fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternall life:

Now there were seuen brethren: and the first tooke a wife, and dying left no seede.

¶ Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the prease.

And it was told him by certaine which saide, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

And hee answered and said vnto them, My mother and my brethren are these which heare the word of God, and doe it.

¶ Then said hee also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor thy rich neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his owne life also, hee cannot be my disciple.
