Jesus and family conflicts

Abstract

Taking in consideration the conflict issues faced by Jesus, this text covers the opposition he suffered from his own family members, relatives and friends. Starting from Mk 3:20-21, when they accuse him to commit insanity, we seek to analyze the relationship between Jesus and his family. For this reason will look for background to demonstrate the relationship mode between Jesus, his land and his people. The text also presents the circumstances of Jesus departure from his own land and seeks to understand why he didn’t come back no live in Nazareth, even when he returned to Galilee. Also seeks to identify Jesus opponents, being the relatives or friends, and the reasons they had to behave that way. What is the new family of Jesus? There are examples of family relationship of Jesus followers, ending with the community meetings of the disciples with Jesus family, accordingly to Acts of Apostles.
