**There is very scant about Mary....**

Mostly true. But she is mentioned in every Gospel and most extensively in Luke.

I get the feeling that Luke visited her many times in Ephesus with Paul.

“I get the feeling that Luke visited her many times”

......since when does what we feel dictate reality? You are adding something which isn’t there because it feels good to “imagine” this.

Mary appears only four times in Scripture and her words are recorded in only one of the occasions Jn.2:11. She appears only twice in the public ministry of Jesus Mt.12:46-50.

When Jesus rose from the dead he didn’t appear to Mary His mother but instead to Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph......... Mary is another member of the church, she is not put in a special place above any.( Acts 1:14; I Corinthians 12:13, 27)

...... She was not made an apostle and she stayed in the upper room with the rest of the disciples to receive the Holy Spirit......

The Bible does not teach Mary is our mother,...... For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.....

.....but the Jerusalem above is free,........ which is the mother of us all.......... Gal. 4:24-27”
