Which requires more speculation, the one that says that the reason Jesus chose John to care for his mother, was because he had no brothers to turn to even though scripture tells us he had at least 4 other brothers and at least 2 other sisters, which then to argue this, you have to go ten different directions which end up in never never land?...... or, speculate that the reason Jesus chose John was because he was Jesus true brother in faith and Christ knew and trusted him completely? Here are the "ten different directions" we have to go to believe that the Bible uses the words "brother" and "sister" to refer to larger sets of relatives than you think:
That's the way the Semitic languages work.
Maybe that wasn't ten different directions was it?

I wish I was as clever as you.....NOT!
