In Scripture, every time Jesus addresses her, He calls her *Woman*, never *mother*.
Interesting, that.
That is interesting and taking note of!
But then He did seperate her from himself as his ministry first began...rather like our own sons do. Her job was finished...His was to begin...and she stepped back.
What's interesting to me is that some hear this as they would from someone today - as an insult. That Jesus is insulting his mother - and breaking a commandment.
