³⁴ And looking round at those who were seated about him, he said, See, my mother and my brothers!

²⁹ Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

⁹ You have taken away my heart, my sister, my bride; you have taken away my heart, with one look you have taken it, with one chain of your neck!

¹⁰ How fair is your love, my sister! How much better is your love than wine, and the smell of your oils than any perfume!

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

²⁷ And it came about that when he said these things, a certain woman among the people said in a loud voice, Happy is the body which gave you birth, and the breasts from which you took milk.

²⁸ But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.

¹⁰ Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

⁴⁰ And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

⁴¹ Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:

⁴² For I was in need of food, and you gave it not to me; I was in need of drink, and you gave it not to me:

⁴³ I was wandering, and you took me not in; without clothing, and you gave me no clothing; ill, and in prison, and you came not to me.

⁴⁴ Then will they make answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food or drink, or wandering, or without clothing, or ill, or in prison, and did not take care of you?

⁴⁵ Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.

⁴⁹ And he put out his hand to his disciples and said, See, my mother and my brothers!

⁵⁰ For whoever does the pleasure of my Father in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

¹ I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; to take my myrrh with my spice; my wax with my honey; my wine with my milk. Take meat, O friends; take wine, yes, be overcome with love.

² I am sleeping, but my heart is awake; it is the sound of my loved one at the door, saying, Be open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my very beautiful one; my head is wet with dew, and my hair with the drops of the night.

²² I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.

¹¹ For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

¹² Saying, I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers, I will make a song of praise to you before the church.
