{Standing without} (ex(9320)st(886b)ontes). A late present from
the perfect hest(886b)a. Pathetic picture of the mother and
brothers standing on the outside of the house thinking that Jesus
inside is beside himself and wanting to take him home. They were
crowded out. {They sent unto him, calling him} (apesteilan pros
auton kalountes auton). They were unwilling to disclose their
errand to take him home (Swete) and so get the crowd to pass word
unto Jesus on the inside, "calling him" through others. Some of
the MSS. add "sisters" to mother and brothers as seeking Jesus.
