Jn. 2:12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.
No particular reason is given in the bible for this trip. Perhaps it is to visit friends or relatives; perhaps it is an exploratory trip, since Capernaum would later become His headquarters. What is noticeable here is that He is traveling with His family. This would soon not be the case, as many believe that a rift develops between the Lord and His family, probably over His Messianic claims. Evidently His mother does become a believer at some point in time before His crucifixion. There are some indications of that. But, his brothers are a different story. They will not become believers until after His resurrection.
Notice here that the Bible says that His brothers are accompanying Him on this trip. This is another indication that Miriam gave birth to other children after giving birth to Yeshua. She did not remain a virgin the rest of her life as some churches try to claim. This is another proof that the claim of Perpetual Virginity of Mary is false.
