Context of Luke 8:19
17For nothing is secret, that shall not become evident; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come to light. 18Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whoever hath, to him shall be given; and whoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come near to him for the crowd. 20And it was told to him by certain who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to see thee. 21And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God, and do it.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 4-21Verses 4-21 There are many very needful and excellent rules and cautions for hearing the word, in the parable of the sower, and the application of it.

These children were probably born to Joseph and Mary after the virgin birth of Jesus. However, some Christians believe that Mary remained a virgin throughout her life. According to this view, Joseph was a widower who already had children from an earlier marriage when he married Mary.Read the comment
