“Woman behold thy son, son behold thy mother.”

Those who wrestle with the meaning of the Sacred Scriptures, who do not view their interpretation through the eyes of Faith, they don’t understand what these words from the Word Incarnate mean.

"Woman behold thy son, son behold thy mother."

The meaning is easy to understand and clear. Jesus was the oldest son and therefore responsible for his mother. His other siblings/cousins were not part of the faith yet. Jesus assured that his mother would be among the faithful. Anything more is injecting a personal opinion into scripture and using scripture to justify your belief.
