Truth Exposed:   Family

In John 20:17, we read where Jesus told Mary Magdalene to “. . . go find my brothers . . .”, then in verse 18 it says she went to the disciples.  Two different groups.  Adelfos is the Greek for brothers and means “from the womb,” whereas disciples is mathetes, which means “students.”  Did Mary disobey the Lord?  That's a good question.  Were the siblings with the students?  Possibly.  Why go to the family first?  Don’t we want our families saved before anyone else?  Who have you told about Jesus?
