The Mother of Jesus Christ: SHALOM!
Matthew 27:55-56
55And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:56Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.
The mother of Jesus is not mentioned!
Mark 15:40-41
40There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;41(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
Again, the mother of Jesus is not mentioned!
Luke 23:49
49And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
And again,
the mother of Jesus is not mentioned!
===============================================================
The Synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke
do not mention
the mother of Jesus,
as if they don’t know who she is!
================================
IN THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS (MATTHEW, MARK, AND LUKE)
ALL OF THE WOMEN THAT MINISTERED TO JESUS
WERE STANDING AFAR OFF!
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother‘s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, andMary Magdalene.
The gospel of John differs in that the few women that stood by are
near the cross!
(Close enough for Jesus to talk to his mother
and to the disciple called John.)
The disciple who wrote the gospel of John
also seems
to know the mother of Jesus!
Only in the Gospel of John is the mother of Jesus mentioned!
WHY?
BECAUSE JOHN KNEW HER!
IF you take a sentence and take out punctuation- it changes the meaning of a sentence. Punctuation was added later to the bible.
IN the verse above (John 19:25) there are four women standing by the cross of Jesus.
In the verse below (John 19:25) there are only three women.
All I did was take out the commas!
By doing this it makes more sense!
Instead of two sisters called by the same name “Mary” there is only one.
I don’t know about you, but I have never known anyone who was called by the same name as their sister. Not even twins!
It is stupid to assume that two sisters are called by the same name!
==========================================
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother‘s sister Mary the wife of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene.
IN my opinion, the ands in the sentence seem to separate the people.
Since they did not use commas back then, it would make sense to separate the people with a conjunction like “and”.
If John the disciple wanted us to know that the name of Jesus’s mother was Mary then he would have written that sentence like this:
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother Mary and his mother’s sister Mary the wife of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene.
or
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus Mary his mother and his mother’s sister Mary the wife of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene.
Otherwise we MIGHT AS WELL say that Jesus’s mother is Mary Magdalene IF we can say that she is called Mary as well as her sister who is Mary!
IT IS RIDICULOUS!
but instead he writes:
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother‘s sister Mary the wife of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene.
==================================================
Now if you compare the verses in the synoptic with John you have three women named in each verse.
but you have some different names given to these women.
Matthew
Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James and Joses
and the mother of Zebedees children
Mark
Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses,
and Salome
John
his mother
and his mother‘s sister Mary the wife of Cleophas
and Mary Magdalene.
==================================================
WORD ARITHMETIC
===================================================
IF you take out the obvious match you would take out Mary Magdalene since all three gospels agree that she was there!
So lets do that!
Matthew
and Mary the mother of James and Joses
and the mother of Zebedees children
Mark
and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses,
and Salome
John
his mother
and his mother‘s sister Mary the wife of Cleophas
Now, if you take out the obvious match out of these verses, you would take out Mary the mother of James and Joses and it’s corresponding matches!
So lets do that!
Matthew
and the mother of Zebedees children
Mark
and Salome
John
his mother
==================================================
SO the left over names are:
1) the mother of Zebedees children
2) Salome
3) his mother
Is there a match we can make?
===============================================================
John 19:26-27
26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
============================================================
Definitions of the leftover names above!
Zebedee
noun - BIBLE father of the disciples James and John: Matt. 4:21
Origin: LL(Ec) Zebedaeus < Gr(Ec) Zebedaios, prob. < Heb zevadya, lit.,
God has bestowed < zavad, to donate, bestow + ya, God
Salome - Meaning of the name
is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is “peace“.
Possibly from the same root as the greeting “Shalom”.
===================================================
I believe that Salome who is the mother of Zebedee’s children could be the mother of Jesus!
Who did Jesus entrust his mother to when he died?
To the disciple standing by that wrote the gospel of John!
The author of the gospel of John never did call Jesus’s mother by the name of Mary!
SO if you trust Luke and Mark (John Mark) who were followers of Saul/Paul/Aul whose mother is called Mary who bestowed much labour on them, then believe them.
Romans 16:6
6Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
I don’t believe them!
They have proved to me their untrustworthiness
as I have written about numerous times in my posts!
The synoptic gospels can’t even get in order the events,
or name the people involved,
and they embellish the events with their own imaginations,
make up i.e. lie about what Jesus said and did,
therefore they do not deserve to be given that trust!
We have all been brought up to believe that the mother of Jesus is named Mary, but the evidence THAT I TRUST leads me to a different conclusion!
ANOTHER REASON I DON’T THINK MARY IS THE MOTHER OF JESUS IS BECAUSE JESUS NEVER CALLED HIS MOTHER MARY!
JESUS CALLED His mother WOMAN!
Shalom!

The Synoptic gospels are FULL of errors and contradictions within themselves and lack any true credibility.
We are supposed to accept that Jesus’s mother is called Mary and has a sister named Mary so that Roman Catholicism can venerate (worship) some strange woman they have named Mary and made into a Goddess
and call her the Mother of God!
POPE URGES GIVING PRIORITY TO MARY
IT IS ABSOLUTELY the ANTI-CHRIST!
