“Women, behold son, son, behold your mother”. "Jesus, from the cross.

Somehow, I'm not seeing any command here to build statues to Mary and bow down before them... Is it in the Greek? :-)

Even more important, Christ said this to John, who obeyed it and later wrote, "Little Children, guard yourselves against idols."

IIRC, there’s something in the Ten Commandments about not making graven images and bowing down to them......

Also Jesus commanded John before he died on the cross to take care of Mary as directed in the 10 commandments.

It is not in the Greek nor is the catholic claim that Jesus is giving all of us His mom. Nor is it in the Greek that this is making Mary the mother of the disciples.

It's not even close.
