[1] When Jesus left Nazareth, Mary and Ruth moved to Capernaum to live in the home given by Jesus, where they remained for the rest of Mary's life. [2] Mary's family, always skeptical of Jesus, doubted his divine mission despite her belief in his destined greatness. [3]
Mary, mother of Jesus, became the object of a modern mother cult, descending from the ancient traditions of the worship of the “great mother” Eve in Crete. [4] Gabriel chose Joseph and Mary to be the parents of the bestowal child, appearing to Mary to impart the glad tidings of her selection. [5] Mary insisted on accompanying Joseph to Bethlehem, driven by her adventurous spirit and fear of being left alone before the child's birth. [6] In most matters of difference, Mary had been right; could it be possible that his mother was right? [7]
Mary found Jesus teaching in the temple, fulfilling his Father's business. [8]
Throughout his fifth calendar year of life in 2 B.C., Jesus was constantly curious and inquisitive, with Joseph and Mary never failing to fully discuss and assist with his questions and inquiries. [9]

[17] Mary, a well-educated and practical blonde with brown eyes, complemented Joseph's thoughtful and dark-eyed nature. [18] Mary, mother of Jesus, died in the year following the crucifixion. [19]
Mary, educated far above average, was a practical planner and expert in adaptation, while Joseph was a thinker, both coming from families well educated for their time. [20] Mary's ever-sunny disposition stood in stark contrast to her husband's demeanor, remaining cheerful even in the face of hardship. [21] Mary was an expert weaver and exceptional homemaker, ensuring her children were well educated in the learning of their time. [22]
Mary, mother of Jesus, had a remarkable lineage filled with unique ancestors, but the genealogies constructed after Michael's bestowal are not genuine. [23] Mary's serious illness with the birth of Jude forced Jesus to take on adult responsibilities at a young age. [24]
Mary, the ambitious mother, turned to Jesus for help in their home crises at Nazareth, but Jesus emphasized waiting on the will of the Father in heaven. [25] Mary avoided Jesus when he arrived in Capernaum, choosing instead to visit her son Joseph in Nazareth. [26] Mary basked in the sunshine of maternal delusion before realizing her son was meant for a higher calling. [27]
Mary's concern regarding Rebecca and Jesus was fueled by the realization that her son, a splendid and respected man in Nazareth, was being pursued by the wealthy merchant's daughter despite his destiny as a great religious leader. [28] Mary's family was convinced Jesus would become the temporal Messiah, leading to conflicting viewpoints between her and Joseph about his mission. [29]
Mary and his family struggled to comprehend Jesus as he challenged their preconceived notions and expectations, leaving them perplexed and uncertain about his true purpose. [30] Mary, a loving mother, was a fairly strict disciplinarian who helped Jesus adjust his strong feelings to family cooperation. [31] Memory of Gabriel’s appearance steadied Mary’s faith in Jesus, enabling her to cling to her belief despite doubts from family and friends. [32] Mary faithfully discharged her parental responsibilities with great devotion and vigilance during Jesus' early years. [33] Mary embraced the Hellenistic interpretation of Judaism, while Joseph adhered to the Babylonian viewpoint. [34] Mary experienced increasing disappointment, humiliation, and despair as Jesus's ministry caused a widening gulf between him and his family. [35]
Mary became overprotective after Jesus fell in a sandstorm, leading to great anxiety but ultimately fostering a lively competition for his company among his family members during monthly visits. [36] Mary was initially shocked at Jesus' Passover views but eventually came to understand and accept his perspective. [37]
Mary, torn between love and fear; harassed by doubts, was deeply hurt when Jesus declared, “I have no mother; I have no brothers,” highlighting her struggle to understand his divine mission. [38]

At the upper room at Pentecost, Mary, the mother of Jesus, gathered with one hundred and twenty leading disciples to hear the farewell message of the Master and witness his ascension.
