IIRC,

Christ was making a DISTINCTION

BETWEEN John on earth and the saints and other Heavenly personages

IN HEAVEN.

Mary was NOT

IN HEAVEN at that point.

Therefore, your point is moot and absurd.

Where does the Scripture explain that to us

I never cease to be amazed by the rank hypocrisy of "Proddies" who give their "nuanced" understanding of "what the Scripture is saying" the same authority as a direct quotation of Christ....
