The manner of speaking of the “Mother of Jesus” in the Gospel, is usually overlooked. If the ordinary, average Christian were asked: who was the Mother of Jesus? he would reply: “The Mother of Jesus was Mary?” And many indeed will believe that there is something in the Gospel of St. John to the effect that the Mother of Jesus was called Mary. But nowhere in this Gospel is there anything to indicate that the Mother of Jesus was called Mary. Wherever reference is made to her, she is quite intentionally called just the Mother of Jesus. The meaning of this we shall learn later. In the chapter on the Marriage in Cana, we read: “and the Mother of Jesus was there;” and further on, it says: “His Mother saith unto the servants.” Nowhere do we find the name “Mary.” And when we meet her again in the Gospel of St. John, when we see the Saviour upon the Cross, we read:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":187,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/103/1908-05-29/p026","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-05-29","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-29/p029","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-29/p029"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-29/p030","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-29/p030"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 103/1908-05-29/p029","GA 103/1908-05-29/p030"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":214,"en_words":250,"ratio":1.17,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.
