The words *mother of Jesus* are a descriptor of MARY, not a statement of who Jesus was.

The phrase *mother of Jesus* was used by the Holy Spirit to distinguish that Mary from some of the other Mary's in the NT.

It never was a statement about the deity of Jesus.

“The words *mother of Jesus* are a descriptor of MARY, not a statement of who Jesus was.”

Jesus’ very name is statement about who He is. And have you forgotten Luke 1:43:

But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

MOTHER OF MY LORD. Is Lord a descriptor of Jesus or Mary? Pretty obviously of Jesus, right?

It was a rhetorical question. An exegetical review is beyond this forum. Who was it that appeared to Abraham in a theophany in Genesis 18, ate meat, rested, and talked with Abraham?
