The person that does the will of his Father in Heaven, is called Jesus' brother; as he answered those that told him that his mother and brothers were wanting to speak with him:
"But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." (Math.12.48-50)
In Matthew 12:49,50 Jesus says anyone who does the will of God is my brother, sister and mother
