/* Fourteen */ οικογένειάς του "oikogeneias tou - his family" - not in Mk 3:21
:See [http://biblehub.com/multi/mark/3-21.htm multiple versions of Mark 3:21].
:Translations of Mark 3:21 differ. '''Οἱ παρʼ αὐτοῦ''' "''those of him''", that is, ''acquaintances, relatives, hometown (citizens), those who knew him as one of their own''. Some readings say "his friends" (KJV), some say "his family". The Greek term '''οικογένειάς του''' ''oikogeneias tou'', "his family" is not in Mark 3:21. <br> Depending on which version the reader prefers, Mary is '''''not''''' among "his friends" who say "He is beside himself" (KJV) / "He is insane"—'''or'''—Mary is '''''included''''' among "his family" and agrees with them in saying "He is beside himself" / "He is insane". <br> Compare [http://biblehub.com/multi/john/10-20.htm John 10:20] "''he hath a devil and is mad; why hear ye him?''" (KJV).
:The version that reads "his family" implies that Mary had ceased to believe in Jesus and therefore that she too had sinned against Him by disbelief, that she had lost faith in him and had [[Apostasy|apostatized]], and had [[Blasphemy|blasphemed]] against Him by saying, "He is insane". This is adduced by many Protestant Christian [[Exegesis|exegetes]] as biblical and doctrinal proof that Mary had sinned, and committed blasphemy, and therefore that the Catholic doctrine that Mary was wholly and entirely free of sin by the grace of God from the moment of her [[Immaculate Conception]] and entirely throughout her life is a false doctrine and a [[Satan|satanic]] deception (see 1&nbsp;Timothy 4:1-2). Mary therefore was a sinner.
