General Information:

The arrival of Jesus' mother and brothers becomes an opportunity for him to describe his spiritual family.

behold

The word "behold" alerts us to a new people in the story. Your language may have a way of doing this.

his mother

This is Mary, Jesus' human mother.

his brothers

These are probably other children born to Mary, but it is is possible that the word "brothers" here refers to Jesus' cousins.

seeking to speak

"wanting to speak"

Someone said to him, "Look, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you."

This can be translated as an indirect quotation. AT: "Someone told Jesus that his mother and brothers were outside and wanted to speak to him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations)
