'Mother' in the Bible
Now the birth of Jesus Christ occurred in this way. His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, [but] before they came together, she was found {to be pregnant} by the Holy Spirit.
And [when they] came into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down [and] worshiped him. And opening their treasure boxes, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Now [after] they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him."
So he got up [and] took the child and his mother during the night and went away to Egypt.
saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead."
So he got up [and] took the child and his mother and {entered} the land of Israel.
For I have come to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
The one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and the one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
And [while] he was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and brothers were standing there outside, desiring to speak to him.
And someone told him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing there outside desiring to speak to you."
But he answered [and] said to the one who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?"
And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Behold my mother and my brothers!
For whoever does the will of my Father [who is] in heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother."
Is not this one the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
And coached by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter!"
and 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 your mother,' and 'The one who speaks evil of father or mother {must certainly die}.'
But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or his mother, "Whatever {benefit you would have received} from me [is] a gift [to God],"
and said, 'On account of this a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?
honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself."
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields on account of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life.
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, [and] kneeling down [she] asked something from him.
