1 | Please explain John 19:27 | John 19:26 | Morant61 | 107921 | ||
Greetings Rowdy! You raise some interesting points. I think it would be good for us to remember that we don't know anything about the relationship between Mary and her children, or between Jesus and His siblings. We do know that His brother James became a leader in the church after the death of Jesus, but we nothing about before that time. It may have been that His brothers were either not willing or able to care for His mother. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi, Morant61! It is also worth noting that James was not referred to as a relative of the Lord until after Jesus' bequeathal of Mary to John who happened to have a brother named James! God Bless! |

Correct!, I should have said that James notoriety was not evident till after the bequeathal of Mary. But my point is still valid: Matthew 13:55 name James, Joseph, Simon and Judas and sisters (which implies at least two) so between at least 6 brothers and sisters they could not fulfill a Jewish Law that required them to care for their widowed mother (Joseph is not mentioned except as reference point of Jesus upbringing--never as a personality during Jesus' public years; so it can be surmised that Joseph had died and that Mary was a widower)--even if they lived in extreme poverty! God Bless! |
