(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔρχονται ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καί οἱ ἀδελφοί αὐτοῦ καί ἔξω στήκοντες ἀπέστειλαν πρός αὐτόν καλοῦντες αὐτόν)

Here, the word And introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave And untranslated. Alternate translation: [After that,]

Note 2 topic: translate-kinship

οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔρχονται ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καί οἱ ἀδελφοί αὐτοῦ καί ἔξω στήκοντες ἀπέστειλαν πρός αὐτόν καλοῦντες αὐτόν)

These were Jesus’ younger brothers. They were sons of Mary and Joseph. Since the Father of Jesus was God, and their father was Joseph, they were actually his half-brothers. That detail is not normally translated, but if your language has a specific word for “younger brother,” you could use it here.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἔρχονται

˓are˒_coming

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: [go]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔξω στήκοντες

outside standing

Here Mark implies that they are standing outside the house that Jesus is in, most likely the house mentioned in [3:20](../03/20.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [standing outside the house] or [standing outside the place where Jesus was teaching]

Here Mark means that Jesus’ mother and brothers sent a person to Jesus to ask him to come out and meet them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [they sent a messenger to him to summon him] or [they had someone go in and tell him to come out]
