Family matters

Luke 8:19-20 - Now Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you."

I wonder why they wanted to see Jesus. Was it just because he hadn't been home in a while? Did they have something to tell him? Did they want to have him come back home with them? Did they have something to ask him -- spiritual or otherwise?

I wonder why the crowd didn't just part and let them through. I'd think they'd have VIP status as far as seeing Jesus was concerned.
