What does the Bible say about the relationship between Jesus and Mary?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible presents a unique relationship where Jesus respects Mary as His mother but also asserts His divine authority over her.

In John 2:4, Jesus addresses Mary as 'Woman,' indicating a respectful yet functional distance, affirming His role as the Son of God. While He recognizes her as His mother, He also emphasizes that His divine mission and authority surpass familial ties. This balance of respect and authority is evident throughout the Gospels, including Mary's acknowledgment of her need for a Savior in Luke 1:47, showcasing that even she understood the necessity of Christ's redemptive work.
