Well, in approximately 67% of the recorded times (that I can remember) that He spoke To her, he addressed her as "Gynai." But in referring to her in John 19:26-27 the Evangelist calls her he meter autou and when Jesus 'gives' her to "the disciple whom He loved" He, Jesus, refers to her as "he meter sou". So we are left with no record of His calling His own mother, "Mother," but He calls her John's mother.

That is correct, He calls her John's mother, He never addresses her by that designation.

He rates all those who follow Him and obey His words as equal in status to His mother, brother and sister.

So, why don't you do the same?

Is this the kind of conversation you want to have? If so, include me out.
