Exegesis
The second rhetorical question begins with kai ouk eisin {καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν | kaí ouk eisìn}, parallel to the first negative opening, and presents a new subject, hai adelphai autou {αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ | hai adelphài autoû}, with the locative adverb hode {ὧδε | hō-de} and prepositional phrase pros hemas {πρὸς ἡμᾶς | pròs hē-mâs} to stress that His sisters are physically present within the same community.
In context — Mark 6:3
Is not this the carpenter , the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us? And they were offended at Him.
