There’s no verse that documents a sin that Mary committed, unlike the Apostles, particularly Paul who goes out of his way to make us all understand the depth of his sins. All that we have to go on, is what the Angel says to Mary, that “all generations will call you blessed”, something that is not said of anyone else in Scripture. This to me is significant. Scripture doesn’t pull any punches at demonstrating the fallenness of the disciples, and yet it goes out of it’s way to highlight the blessedness of Mary.

Luke 2:48 His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You."

False accusation? is that bad? Lack of Faith?

Mark 3:20 Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat. 21 And when his FAMILY heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind." Mark 3:31 Then Jesus MOTHER and brothers ARRIVED, standing outside they sent someone in to call him.

Would thinking Jesus was insane and wanting to throw a net overy be a sin by Mary?

Interesting. A mother’s concern for her child is sinful? I didn’t think that someone would try to step up and argue this with Mary.

Secondly, it says his family believed that he was out of his mind. Doesn’t say Mary. Paul readily admits where he had fallen short. Same with Peter.
