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.

While I am sure she was out of her mind with worry (itself a sin?, lack of trust), the plain text itself is certainly accusative. You are also looking at the text and importing a theology unknown for 600 years after the events.

Secondly, it says his family believed that he was out of his mind. Doesn’t say Mary.

It says the FAMILY went to get him .....and when His MOTHER and BROTHERS arrived, etc.... Mothers are usually included as family members in all conotations that I am aware of.

You must think it quite a large mistake by the Holy Spirit in not clarifying this implication.
