'Mother' in the Bible

Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way. While his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

As they came into the house and saw the child with Mary his mother, they bowed down and worshiped him. They opened their treasure boxes and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to look for the child to kill him."

Then he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and went to Egypt.

saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead."

So he got up and took the child and his mother and returned to the land of Israel.

While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers came and stood outside, asking to speak to him.

And pointing toward his disciples he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.'

But you say, 'If someone tells his father or mother, "Whatever help you would have received from me is given to God,"

and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself."

And whoever has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling down she asked him for a favor.
