Mary was not the actual biological mother of John the Apostle but was the biological mother of Jesus. Mary became the mother of John when they stood at the foot of the cross. Before he died, Jesus told Mary "Behold thy son" and to John "Behold thy mother." Jesus wanted to be sure that his mother would be taken care of when he died.
