Why did Jesus call His mother “Woman”? In John 2:4 at the wedding at Cana, the phrase can sound disrespectful in modern English—but the Greek word gynai was not automatically insulting. This Bible study examines why Jesus used this unusual form of address, what “My hour has not yet come” means, how Mary responds, and why Jesus calls her “Woman” again at the cross in John 19. Discover how Cana reveals Jesus’ authority, mission, and relationship with Mary without forcing the text into a simple insult or hidden code.

I think he actually gave her to his cousin James the least, disciple, son of Cleopas (Alpheus in Greek) her sister Mary's son.
They grew up together being cousins. He knew Messiah better than any man. James unded up ahead of the Jerusalem church for 30 years, probably directed to do so by Messiah, until they stoned James in 62ad.
Mary believed God and was ready to sacrifice concerning her reputation of chastity and given fruit of her womb
