He is explicitly shown to have obedience to her. He listened to her at the wedding feast at Cana. He gave her to us at his Crucifixion - as our mother.

I think that he treated her on a different level than, say, the adulteress, or Mary of Magdala, or the Samaritan woman.

Sure He did. Wouldn't you?

On the other hand who did He appear to first after His crucifiction?

John 20:
17: Jesus said to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."


By golly, it was Mary Magdalene.

You got that right!
What other woman was given the honor of carrying the Messiah in her womb?
Of knowing Him better than any other human being?

This IS crazy talk!

That's no different than the obedience He showed to everyone that asked Him for anything.
