Mar 8, 2024 · Answer. When Jesus was on the cross, both the apostle John and Mary the mother of Jesus stood nearby. In John 19:26–27 we read, “When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, ‘Woman, here is your son,’ and to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’.

Oct 25, 2021 · Mary was not "left alone" μονόω - since Jesus made John her son (John 19:26-27) & James was still her living biological son. " Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number , and not unless she has been the wife of one man" (5:9 Χήρα καταλεγέσθω μὴ ἔλαττον ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα γεγονυῖα ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή)
Mary obviously now a widow and Jesus now the head of the family, despite the pain that he is enduring, wants to take care of his mother. Mary’s other sons, the half-brothers of Jesus were still unbelievers, (John7:5 Mark6:3) so Jesus entrusts the care of his mother to an apostle, a man of faith, whom he loves.
1. Lineage. In Luke 1:36 Mary is called a kinswoman of Elizabeth, a daughter of Aaron (Luke 1:5). This may be thought to suggest that Mary also belonged to the tribe of Levi, as indicated in Text XII Pat (Simeon vii), but other indications argue strongly that she, like Joseph, was of royal lineage.

Jesus is aware that his half brothers, Mary’s other sons, have not as yet put faith in him. So he is making provision for his mother’s physical care as well as for her spiritual ...

Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark (Acts 12:12). We know nothing of her; but from the fact that a meeting of the Church was held in her house, we may conclude that she was possessed of some wealth. She may have been a widow, for her husband's name would presumably have been given in place of hers, had he been alive.
