she overstepped her role, and Jesus rebuked her

No such thing is recorded in the scripture.

Rebuke in the following examples may be too harsh of term, but you definately see Jesus declining to ellivate Mary to a special status.

Matt. 12:46-50 ¶ While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Luk 11:27&28 ¶ And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

In these episodes Christ point to us that she is a model for all, as all who "hear and keep the Word" are likewise praiseworthy. It is the same theme as in our adoption by her at the Cross, and supporting scriptures for it.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I don't think "rebuke" is too strong a word. Perhaps it's not even strong enough.

Christ was declaring to all the world that from now on his mother and brothers would share the exact same status as all believers -- "whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. ."

After that rebuke, it's clear we are to kneel to none but Christ.
