Matthew 12:49
"And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers!"
Did Jesus fail to recognize His own mother and brothers?
There is no sign of any such failure. This objection misunderstands the language of collectivist ingroups, assuming that Jesus is literally identifying his disciples as his literal mother and brothers. On the contrary, familial terminology was characteristic of ingroup relationships, so that, for example, rabbis could be called "father," as was the Roman Emperor.
