The original Greek verb, which is usually translated "touch," means also "to cling to, hang on by, lay hold of, grasp, handle." It very well have been that Mary feared that Jesus would leave her to ascend to heaven. His instruction to her "not to touch him" was coupled with the assignment to "go to [his] brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.'" (John 20:17, Matthew 28:10) Mary would have been thus assured that Jesus still had business on Earth to attend to and therefore would not depart hastily.
Jesus told Mary not to cling to him because he had not yet ascended to the Father. This moment demonstrated Jesus' unique status as the resurrected Lord.
A:This depends on the passage being read:In Matthew 28:9, the women touch Jesus, holding him by the feet, on the morning of his resurrection. Jesus allowed them to worship him thus.In John 20:17, Jesus says to Mary Magdalene, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended ..." In this gospel, not only could Mary not touch Jesus, but no one could before he rose to heaven.Eight days later, still in John's Gospel at verse 20:27, Jesus forgets his earlier concern and tells Thomas to touch his wounds.
Yes, Mary was present at Mount Calvary during the crucifixion of Jesus. She stood by the cross along with other women, demonstrating her love and devotion to her son despite the difficult circumstances.
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.
In Matthew's Gospel, the angel who rolled away the stone told Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to go quickly and tell the disciples that Jesus was risen. On the way to tell the disciples, they met Jesus, who told them to tell the disciples to go to Galilee, where he would meet them.Mark's Gospel has a similar account. The tomb was already open when Mary Magdalene, the other Mary and Salome arrived. The young man they found inside the tomb told them to go quickly and tell the disciples that Jesus was risen and to go to Galilee, where he would meet them, but they ran away and told no one.In Luke's Gospel, the two men who were in the tomb told the women what had happened. They were not told to do anything, but nevertheless they told the disciples, who did not believe them.In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb while it was still dark, but found the stone had been taken away. She did not know that the tomb was empty and spoke to no one, but ran and told Peter and the "disciple whom Jesus loved".
The words are bear bore born. Writing in: past tense -- Mary bore a son, named Jesus. present perfect -- Mary has borne a son, named Jesus.
Mary did not tell any one to write about Jesus.
The disciple John was given the care of Jesus' mother.

non-virgin Mary
Because God is a real living being!
The bible does not tell us, but probably she was looked after by John.
Joseph was told not to divorce Mary, as that was what he was thinking of doing.
Mary was Jesus' mother.
To get up and help her in the kitchen rather than sitting at Jesus' feet listening.
Mary was Jesus' mother... there are two Mary's though... the other one was Martha's sister... Mary was much more patient than Martha when they were preparing their house for his arrival... When Jesus was there Mary washed his feet with her best perfume while Martha stared with disbelief.
