Thank you for this. It is interesting that you should connect Hebrews 13:12 with the words of the Lord in Mark 3:31-35. You have done so by linking the words 'without' in both I believe. His Mother and brethren, were seeking to 'lay hold on Him', as we are told in Mark 3:21, for from their perspective He was 'beside Himself', and being pressed by the crowds on all sides, so much so that He had no time to eat or rest. I believe they sought to take Him to a place of safety where He could rest awhile and eat something away from the demands of the crowd. He could not let that happen, for unlike them He was not concerned with the things of the flesh but of the Spirit, and He had to be about His Fathers business. He had to finish the work that He had been sent by God to do. Their interference, well meaning as it was, would interfere with His Father's purpose. So He made it clear that it was those who, like Himself sought to do His Father's will, who had the prior claim upon Him.
yes. See you make sense. Was going to post earlier on Luke 2:48-52 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. [49] And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? [50] And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. [51] And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. [52] And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
But didn’t because I get confusing...but I do think it connects to what you brought out.
