JESUS: He said, “Here is your mother.”

"When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, ‘Woman, here is your son,’ and to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.” (John 19:26-27 NIV)

Jesus took care of His mother! 

Just before He died on the cross, Jesus makes sure his mother would have proper care and so He passes on that responsibility to the Apostle John, who took her is as his very own mother. It's interesting to note that Jesus now refers to Mary as “woman” and not mother, since she also needed a Savior. Jesus was more than Mary’s Son; He was (and is) Mary’s Lord and God and Savior, as He is ours.
