Alternate translation: “that man’s condition is now worse than it was before” or “the current situation of that man has become worse than the previous situation”
+12:45	v09k		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ τῇ πονηρᾷ	1	Here, **generation** represents the people who are part of the **generation**, which means that they are adults who are currently alive. See how you translated the similar expression in [12:39](../12/39.md). Alternate translation: “with today’s people who are evil” or “with evil people of this generation”
 12:46	kkhq		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-exclamations	ἰδοὺ	1	Here, the word **behold** draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express **behold** with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “picture this” or “suddenly”
 12:46	i4t5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-kinship	οἱ ἀδελφοὶ	1	These were Jesus' younger **brothers**. They were sons of Mary and Joseph. Since the Father of Jesus was God, and their father was Joseph, they were actually his half-brothers. That detail is not normally translated, but if your language has a specific word for “younger brother,” you could use it here.
 12:46	rg73		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ἵστήκεισαν ἔξω	1	Here Matthew implies that Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived and then stood **outside** wherever Jesus was. Since [13:1](../13/01.md) describes Jesus leaving a house, he may have been in a house while he was teaching. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make some or all of this information more explicit. Alternate translation: “had come and stood outside the house” or “had arrived outside the place where he was teaching”
