'Mother' in the Bible

Jacob fathered Joseph, the husband of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

After they went into the house and saw the child with his mother Mary, they fell down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasure sacks and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

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

So Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and left at night for Egypt.

"Get up," he said. "Take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, because those who were trying to kill the child are dead."

So Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went into the land of Israel.

I came to turn "a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

"The one who loves his father or mother more than me isn't worthy of me, and the one who loves a son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me.

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

Someone told him, "Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak to you."

He asked the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?"

Then pointing with his hand at his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers,

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

This is the builder's son, isn't it? His mother is named Mary, isn't she? His brothers are James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas, aren't they?

Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me, right here on a platter, the head of John the Baptist."

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

Because God said, "You are to honor your father and your mother,' and, "Whoever curses father or mother must certainly be put to death.'

But you say, "Whoever tells his father or his mother, "Whatever support you might have received from me has been given to God,"

and said, "That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

Jesus said, ""You must not murder, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and, "you must love your neighbor as yourself.'"

In fact, everyone who has left his homes, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or fields because of my name will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons. She bowed down in front of him to ask him for a favor.

Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
