According to John’s Gospel, as Christ was on the cross, He looked down and saw His mother and John, known as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” Christ told John, “Here is your mother,” and the Gospel says from then on, the disciple took Mary into his home (see Jn 19:25-27).

And then they moved to Turkey... But he replied to the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?"
