Mar 8, 2024 · The clear understanding of the passage is that Jesus commanded John to care for Mary after His death. Mary was most certainly a widow at this point in her life and also an older woman. Though she had other sons, Jesus chose John to provide care for Mary after His death.

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. By doing so, he not only takes care of her physical and material needs but also her spiritual needs.

There is plenty to admire about the composure, silent grace, and courage of Mary and the other women who had followed the procession and “watched from a distance” as the events of Jesus’ horrific execution unfolded (Matthew 27:55-56, Mark 15:40-41, Luke 23:49).

We know that Mary and Joseph had additional children, who would have been Jesus’ younger half-siblings. Wouldn’t they have inherited the responsibility of their mother’s care in their oldest brother’s absence? While it is true that Jesus’ half-brothers would have had a legal responsibility to care for their mother, Jesus’ brothers had not been supp...
Entrusting a friend and spiritual brother with the care of His own mother was an act of immense trust, favor, and love on the part of Jesus.

Feb 2, 2024 · The Gospel accounts record a poignant scene at the foot of the cross, where Jesus entrusted the care of His mother Mary to the apostle John instead of to His own brothers (John 19:26-27). This has led many to wonder why Jesus would choose John over His biological family.
