By "the world" I assume that you meant the physical world.
Matthew 12:
John 13:
Again, the Christian family is more important than the biological one.
Matthew 12:
i.e., his biological family.46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him
According to Jesus, Christian brethren (family) are more important than biological family.47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”
48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
John 13:
i.e., the Christian family33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer.
Love one another within the Christian family.You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Again, the Christian family is more important than the biological one.
