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.

Are there scripture verses that you think apply to you, but by your own Greek rule (leaving the Hebrew aside for the moment) you are reading something into the text that is not there based on the Greek?
