1 | why did Jesus call Mary 'woman'? | Gen 3:15 | Songbirdca | 129455 | ||
Why did Jesus call Mary 'woman' and not mother? Was it a Jewish custom for men to refer to their mothers that way? | ||||||
2 | why did Jesus call Mary 'woman'? | Gen 3:15 | Emmaus | 129456 | ||
Songbirdca, Jesus calling Mary "woman" was not a term of disparagement. He calls her the same thing later in John's Gospel when she is at the foot of the cross. Being disrespectful to his mother would be a violation of the commandment to honor your father and mother. More likely it refers to the woman of Genesis 3:15 which is fulfilled in Mary and Jesus.

3 | why did Jesus call Mary 'woman'? | Gen 3:15 | JCrichton | 129505 | ||
Hi, Songbirdca! Also note that there is a transition at the foot of the Cross which reflects Revelation 12:17... though many would like to think of Revelation 12 speaking about the Church, we must understand that the Church did not bear the Messiah (Jesus), it was the woman--conversely, the Church originated in Christ and not the other way around! God Bless! Angel |
