<p>3:32- see on Mk. 3:21.</p><p><em>And a crowd was sitting about him, and they said to him: Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you</em>- Note how in Mk. 3:32 we read that &ldquo;thy mother and your brothers are outside looking seeking for you&quot;, and in Mk. 1:37 the same word occurred: &ldquo;all men seek for you&quot;; and also in Lk. 2:45, of how Mary looked for for Jesus. The similarity is such that the intention may be to show us how Mary had been influenced by the world's perception of Him. And we too can be influenced by the world&rsquo;s light hearted view of the Lord of glory. It&rsquo;s so easy to allow their patterns of language use to lead us into blaspheming, taking His Name in vain, seeing His religion as just a hobby, a social activity&hellip;&nbsp; In passing, it was not that the Lord was insensitive or discounted her. It is in Mt. 12:46 that Mary wanted to speak with Him, and presumably she did- but then He goes to His home town, back to where she had come from (Mt. 13:54), as if He did in fact pay her attention. See on Mk. 6:3.</p>
