SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:34
Y mirando alrededor a los que estaban sentados alrededor de l, dijo: He aquí mi madre y hermanos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 34. And he looked round about on them which sat about him , etc..] To find out his disciples among them, and point them out particularly, by stretching forth his hand towards them: and said, behold my mother and my brethren : not in a natural, but in a spiritual sense; his mother, because, in regeneration, he was formed in them; his brethren, because, by adoption, his God was their God, his Father their Father; (see Gill on Matthew 12:49).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-35 - It is a great comfort to all true Christians, that they are dearer to Christ than mother, brother, or sister as such, merely as relations in the flesh would have been, even had they been holy. Blessed be God this great and gracious privilege is ours even now; for though Christ' bodily presence cannot be enjoyed by us, his spiritual presence is no denied us __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
3:34 {Looking round on them} (peribleyamenos). Another of Mark's life-like touches. Jesus calls those who do the will of God his mother, brothers, and sisters. this does not prove that the sisters were actually there. The brothers were hostile and that gives point to the tragic words of Jesus. One's heart goes out to Mary who has to go back home without even seeing her wondrous Son. What did it all mean to her at this hour?
