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.

BTW, I read the first sentence's second phrase as indicating you held that it is not the Catholic claim that Jesus is giving his mother to his disciples. Of course it is the Catholic claim, as I demonstrated. I now see you may have simply been contending that you don't find that in the Greek. I read the sentence as "A is not in the Greek nor is (it) the catholic claim that ..., to which I raised my objection. I already knew the tradition of the devolved Protestant denominations and sects that have largely discounted blessed Mary from their reading of scripture in reaction to Catholicism.

...Jesus is giving his mother to his disciples.

Matthew 12:48
But he replied to the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?"

Luke 8:21
He replied, "My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice."

To be truthful; there just ain't very much ABOUT Mary in the Scriptures that Rome assembled so long ago.

Making a mountain out of a molehill just isn't something that most Prots are wont to do.

 Mary is mentioned more in the Quran^[2] than in the entire New Testament...

That is correct. The Greek does not support the catholic claim regarding Mary being given to "all of us". The pronouns used are singular and in the genitive. As noted in a prior post the adjective idia (one's own) indicates this is private, personal. HELPS Word Studies indicates this adjective is stronger than the simple possessive pronoun.

For the catholic to claim this means Mary is given to everyone is reading something into the text that is not there based on the Greek.
