OET (OET-LV) And having_looked_around the ones around him sitting around, he_is_saying:
Behold, the mother of_me and the brothers of_me.
OET (OET-RV) And having looked around at the people sitting here, he said, “Actually, you all are my mother and my brothers.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἴδε, ἡ μήτηρ μου
behold the mother ˱of˲_me
Here, the word Behold indicates that the audience should look where Jesus looked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [Consider these people to be my mother] or [These are my mother]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἡ μήτηρ μου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου
the mother ˱of˲_me and the brothers ˱of˲_me
Here Jesus speaks of the ones sitting in a circle around him as if they were his mother and brothers. He means that he considers them to be part of his family. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or state the meaning of the metaphor more explicitly. Alternate translation: [those whom I call my mother and my brothers] or [the people I love as if they were my mother and my brothers]
Note 3 topic: translate-kinship
οἱ ἀδελφοί μου
the brothers ˱of˲_me
See how you translated brothers in 3:31.
3:20-35 This story about Jesus and his family (3:20-21 and 31-35) brackets a controversy story about Jesus’ exorcisms (3:22-30); this arrangement identifies Jesus’ family with the religious leaders in opposing him.
