Did they? Biblical citations pls, would comfort me greatly
Mark 3:21 ESV
And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.”

I don’t think that’s correct. I think in scripture His family knew/accepted who He was, that the Pharisees thought He was a dangerous blasphemer, and that the Romans thought maybe He was crazy. So, it would be like our law enforcement/government thinking of “us” as “crazy”, and the similarities to Jesus end there.
Nope, here it is, plain as day:
Mark 3:20-21
"20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. 21 When his family[b] heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
[b] or his associates
He’s an amazing role model for all of us, that’s for sure.

He got burned as bad as we did too buddy. But the crucifixion only lasted a couple hours this â– â– â– â– lasts a lifetime
I guarantee that His life prior to the Crucifixion was no walk in the park. I’d wager that those of us with schizophrenia truly can relate to His life the most, though.
If you believe in that sort of thing, of course.

I’m not really religious, I lost a lot of my faith when I became ill. I think it helps a lot of people to believe though I just can’t get myself to
I stand corrected and apologize, @Lexicon. Thank you for providing the reference.

I need to read my Bible regularly like I used to. I stopped because I can get pretty delusional, but moments like this make me realize how much I’ve forgotten. I appreciate your post.
This thread is going to trigger lots of people. Time to lock it down, folks! @flameoftherhine, your services are required! :shines popcorn symbol into the sky:

My Bible says the multitude instead of family, he is with his disciples,so I doubt his so called biological family is around. Think family means his following. Also the fact that he is around 30 years old, probably not with his family. That’s how I read it anyway.
Sorry didn’t see your post , might be a good idea
