# General Information:
The arrival of Jesus' mother and brothers becomes an opportunity for him to describe his spiritual family.
# behold
The word "behold" alerts us to a new people in the story. Your language may have a way of doing this.
# his mother
This is Mary, Jesus' human mother.
# his brothers
These are probably other children born to Mary. But, it is possible they are Jesus' cousins.
# seeking to speak
"wanting to speak"
# Someone said to him, "Look, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you."
This can be translated as an indirect quotation. AT: "Someone told Jesus that his mother and brothers were outside and wanted to speak to him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])
