What did Jesus say to his mother before he died?
Jesus, therefore, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing by, said to his mother: iWoman, behold thy son.; Then, he said to the disciple iBehold thy mother.; And from that hour the disciple took her to his own (home).

Why did Jesus ask John to take care of his mother?
Some have concluded that Jesus was Mary’s only child, and that He therefore asked John to take care of His mother after His death, as there was nobody else in His immediate family who could have done so. However, this is not what the Bible teaches.

For all these reasons, John seems to have been the best choice and indeed the perfect choice to look after Mary.

What does the Bible say about caring for widows?
