That was some great commentary and scriptures that shed some light on why Jesus commanded John to care for Mary mother of Jesus. It makes perfect sense

The bible, as power and as true and holy as it is, isn’t all our christian faith is about. If you listen to churches that do not trace their lineage from the apostles, then you are lost and your interpretation of the holy scriptures is lamentable. If you are indeed in search of the true Christ, only two christian churches can make that claim: the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. But if you want to be in fullness with the Christian faith, then it is only through the Roman Catholic Church where you can find it, the one headed by the only successor of Peter. Listening to churches other than the two that I mentioned is no different from listening to your barber or cab driver: they have an understanding but the education is pedestrian, at its best.

Jesus did not have any blood brothers. "Brethren" is often loosely extended to all near, or even distant, relatives (Genesis 13:8, 14:14-16; Leviticus 10:4; 1 Chronicles 15:5-10, 23:21-22)
The decisive proof is that the father and mother of at least two of these "brethren" are known to us. James and Joseph, or Joses, are, as we have seen, the sons of Alpheus, or Clopas, and of Mary, the sister of Mary the Mother of Jesus, and all agree that if these are not brothers of the Saviour, the others are not.

Excellent thanks for your ensights and God’s precious Word!

John was referred to as "beloved" and also was the last apostle to die, these facts probably contributed as well.

[Rydonittelo]

Peter, James and Paul were to busy bickering with each other to look after Mary. John whom Jesus loved was trusted and what a trust that To look after the mother of God during her time on Earth. John was the best

John refers to himself as the "beloved disciple" because his Gospel is not his story, it is our story. We are all the beloved disciple. He very intentionally wrote himself as a self-insert character.

Mary being given to the beloved disciple as Mother is not an arbitrary detail to show how righteous Jesus is. We already know he is perfectly righteous, making that point from the cross would be unnecessary. These are the words of the dying savior in his last moments, each of them would be absolutely precious. If Jesus was just housekeeping, he could've told John to take care of Mary long before this moment.

Jesus from the cross is talking directly to us.

Wonderful explanation and teaching on this question. It blessed me!

Protestant hit piece against Christianity

[homegrownson]

James and his brothers did not believe their brother Jesus was the Savior until after his resurrection and so he wanted his Mother entrusted in someone who Always believed in Him and Fr the reason you said, it was John and Mary were only 2 of very few who were there during his Crufixtion

The Bible absolutely says that we are the "seed" of Mary if we follow Gods commandments. Just another worldly MISINTERPRETATION

[michaellns]

The early Church leaders, Where known as the apostolic fathers. These would be people that learn directly from the Apostles ...just for your info.

[jmdionishow]

I wonder why Jesus didn't tell John "tell my brothers to take care of my mom"?

[Emsie]

John (son of thunder) needed his hot headedness to be calmed by Mary mother’s love, let alone the fact that Jesus probably knew John would be the longest living apostle.

[kevinwynn]

Mary is the mother of Jesus... The Church is the body of Christ... Mary is our mother. Hail Mary full of Grace!

[alvinantony]

Sir you are not interpreting this in the right way. Very sorry to hear this

[prashanthikota]

Didn’t Jesus had fore knowledge regarding his brothers? John’s mother was also present at the crucifixion. Mary ‘s sons may not be saved at the time but Bible does not say that she despised her other sons. I do not believe it is Jesus doing his earthly responsibility but fulfilling heavenly responsibility.

[johannbach]

How old could Mary have been, though? In her 50s? That doesn't seem that old, unless you're talking about lifespans

[RickyDemetro]

Are you sure Jesus had brothers? The Catholic Church believes he was an only child.

[hesavedawretchlikeme]

Methinks and believes that at that very moment his brothers and sisters were estranged from Jesus. They did not "yet" believe on Him as the Messiah. Later on, they did.
