"When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home" (Jn. 19:26,27 AV).
Virtual son, virtual mother. We don't know all the reasons why, and it would be impertinent and presumptuous to innovate a doctrine from this passage.
