I did NOT get that memo

Oh, here it is:

26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. 27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.

By the way, avoid another Protestant obfuscation: there is no "home" in verse 27. It is not an economic arrangement.

Now ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dogs and cats . . . what are all the remotely plausible meanings of:

". . . from that moment, [John] took her to his own" ???

And, then, what is the MOST plausible meaning???

In context, of course . . .

Clearly, for those with a certain perspective to see . . . Christ signaled rather overtly that His former son/mother relationship with her was at an end. John would take care of her as was honorable and loving and fitting. And from then on, His ministry and role in Creation would be different and quite beyond Mary having a significant, active part--meddlesome or otherwise.

And, that's about it from the Scriptural stand point from then on.
