'Mother' in the Bible

And who am I that the mother of my Lord should come and visit me?

But his mother replied, "No! He must be named John."

So the child's father and mother were amazed at what was said about him.

Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, "Listen carefully: This child is destined to be the cause of the falling and rising of many in Israel and to be a sign that will be rejected.

When his parents saw him, they were overwhelmed. His mother said to him, "Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously."

Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. But his mother kept all these things in her heart.

As he approached the town gate, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother (who was a widow), and a large crowd from the town was with her.

So the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

Now Jesus' mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not get near him because of the crowd.

So he was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you."

But he replied to them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."

Now when he came to the house, Jesus did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother.

They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'"

Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles.
