“Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home” (John 19:27).
You may be wondering where are Jesus’ siblings at this time. You could classify them as “non-believers” but, in time, they would join the ranks of believers. Jesus didn’t want to leave Mary’s care unsettled before He drew His final breath. I believe our verse was given to make sure John and Mary both understood His wishes. This selfless act marked the end of His earthly relationship with Mary. She had been His earthly mother for a short time. He was now going to be her Lord for all eternity.
