Oh, dude, Jesus was totally referring to Mary when he said, "Woman, behold your son." He was basically telling Mary to look at John, who he entrusted to take care of her after he was gone. It's like a biblical version of, "Hey, Mom, meet your new son, John."
Jesus said this while hanging on the cross before he died, outside of the city of Jerusalem.
he was to have a gift from God to have what to read in the bible He did. Jesus' arrest and trial are recorded in chapter 18; the crucifixion in chapter 19, which includes this passage: John 19:25-27 - Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. [NKJV] "The disciple whom He (Jesus) loved" was John's way of referring to himself in his gospel.
Only appearing in the Gospel of John, in Chapter 8, a woman is brought before Jesus as a test by the Pharisees (and scribes, per the account). The Pharisees bring a woman they accuse of adultery. Jesus ignores them initially, knowing they wished to trick him by his answers, but they continue prodding for an answer. In verse 7: "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." At this point, one by one, the crowd casting accusations leaves until only the accused woman and Christ remain. In verse 10: "When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?" His response to her, and forgiveness, are extended in verse 11: "She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." The above verses are from the King James version of The Bible. Different translations may slightly vary in text.
Jesus said "Mary" to Mary when He rose from the dead:-John 209 for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead....11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb.12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.13 They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him."14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."16 Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).17 Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"---and that he had said these things to her.
1- "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" which means, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46). 2 - "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34). 3 - "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43). 4 - "Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit" (Luke 23:46). 5 - "Woman, behold your son!" and "Behold your mother!" (John 19:26-27). 6 - "I thirst" (John 19:28). 7 - "It is finished!" (John 19:30).
That he had sex with this woman shoving his colossal ten inch into her producing her first offspring...he was truly a badass.
John 19:26, 27 - When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. [NKJV]
We read of her standing at the foot of His cross:John 19:25-27New King James Version (NKJV)Behold Your Mother25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" 27 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.
The woman concerned was Mary the mother of Jesus. When Jesus said 'Woman behold your son' Jesus was not referring to himself as the woman's son' In the next part of the account Jesus says to the disciple who was standing by Mary, "behold, your mother' referring to the Mary. This passage comes from John's gospel, and it is generally believed that John refers to himself throughout this gospel as 'the disciple whom Jesus loved'. As we are told that the disciple at the cross is this very same disciple, we can be assured that it was John who stood with Mary. We know that John was this disciple as there are parallel accounts of incidents in the other gospels whete Jesus is with Peter, James and John - but in John's gospel the same accounts use the phrase: Peter, James and "the disciple whom Jesus loved"...suggesting that John shows a little modesty in his own account. In Jewish law the oldest son was responsible for looking after a widowed mother. In Jesus' case, being the oldest son of Mary, who by that time was widowed, it was his responsibility to arrange care for her. When Jesus said 'Woman, behold your son" and to John "behold your mother" he was passing on the responsibility, after his death, of looking after Mary, to the only disciple who stuck with him - John. We are then told that John took Mary into his own home and looked after her as his own mother.
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! and the following verses Jesus is talking to a Samaritan woman: Joh 4:25 The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah will come, and when he comes, he will tell us everything." Joh 4:26 Jesus answered, "I am he, I who am talking with you."
Great question!Jesus entrusted his mother Mary to the beloved disciple John, a son of Zebedee:When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. John 19:26-27 NABREFERENCESConfraternity of Christian Doctrine. The New American Bible, (Iowa Falls: IA, World Bible Publishers, Inc. 1991)
John 1:29 - The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"John 1:35, 36 - Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" [NKJV]
This portion of scripture means Jesus wanted his mother to comprehend and gaze upon this picture of her natural son. And to never forget what she has seen this day, no matter what is said and or done when he is no longer on the cross. Or he could have been saying that so she could remember what the angel of God had told her about what was to become of this
The Lamb of God is cited in John 1:29; 36 (NKJV) 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!"
In the gospel according to John, chapter 19, his mother came to see him on the cross. He asks John to care for his mother in his absence. John 19:25 (English Standard Version) but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" 27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
After recalling the presence of Mary and the other women at the Lord's cross, St John relates: "When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold, your son!'. Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!'" (Jn 19:26-27). The reality brought about by Jesus' words, that is, Mary's new motherhood in relation to the disciple, is a further sign of the great love that led Jesus to offer his life for all people. On Calvary this love is shown in the gift of a mother, his mother, who thus becomes our mother too.
No. Mary did not marry after the death of Joseph. On the cross, Jesus gave John the care of his mother, Mary. John Chapter 19 versus 25-27 Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son."Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (NAB) Mary had no husband or children other than Jesus. Jesus respected Jewish law and would not have broken the law regarding the care of his mother. A husband or other child would have had the responsibility to care for Mary.
