马太福音-Matthew 12章49~50节
| 12:49 | 就伸手指着门徒说，看哪，我的母亲，我的弟兄！ |
| And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, Behold, My mother and My brothers! | |
| 12:50 | 因为凡实行我在诸天之上父旨意的，就是我的弟兄、姊妹和母亲了。 |
| For whoever does the will of My Father who is in the heavens, he is My brother and sister and mother. |
Enlightenment:
We are His members not by our natural blood or natural birth, but by our spiritual birth in our spirit. He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit (1 Cor. 6:17). Now we are not only His brothers and sisters; we are one spirit with Him, one body in Him, and one new man in Him.
At the end of chapter twelve the Lord Jesus made a clear declaration to the whole universe that He was through with Israel according to the natural blood. Thus, Romans 11 says that Israel was cut off. This cutting off took place at the end of Matthew 12. Romans 11 also says that the Gentiles have been grafted in. This also took place at the end of Matthew 12.
亮光
我们是祂的肢体，不是凭着天然的血缘或天然的出生，乃是凭着我们灵里属灵的出生。那与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵。（林前六17。）如今我们不仅是祂的弟兄姊妹；我们也与祂是一灵，在祂里面是一个身体，在祂里面是一个新人。
在十二章末了，主耶稣向全宇宙明确的宣告，按着天然的血缘说，祂和以色列人的关系结束了。因此，罗马十一章说，以色列人被折下来了。这个折下来发生在马太十二章末了。罗马十一章也说，外邦人被接上去了。这也发生在马太十二章末了。
