'Mother' in the Bible

The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

Entering the house, they saw the child with Mary His mother, and falling to their knees, they worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

After they were gone, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to search for the child to destroy Him.”

So he got up, took the child and His mother during the night, and escaped to Egypt.

saying, “Get up! Take the child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, because those who sought the child’s life are dead.”

So he got up, took the child and His mother, and entered the land of Israel.

He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly His mother and brothers were standing outside wanting to speak to Him.

And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven, that person is My brother and sister and mother.”

And prompted by her mother, she answered, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter!”

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

For God said:Honor your father and your mother; and,The one who speaks evil of father or mothermust be put to death.

But you say, ‘Whoever tells his father or mother, “Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple”—

and He also said:“For this reason a man will leavehis father and motherand be joined to his wife,and the two will become one flesh?
