Parents: Parental Affection Exemplified by Mary

While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
