Romans 16:13 (ESV)
Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord; also his
mother, who has been a mother to me as
well.
Luke 1:43 (ESV)
And why is this granted to me that the
mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luke 8:19–21 (ESV)
Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but
they could not reach him because of the crowd.
20And he was told, “Your mother and your
brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.”
21But he answered them, “My mother and my
brothers are those who hear the word of God and
do it.”
Luke 11:27–28 (ESV)
As he said these things, a woman in the crowd
raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the
womb that bore you, and the breasts at which
28
you nursed!” But he said, “Blessed rather are
those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
Luke 12:51-53 (ESV)
Do you think that I [Jesus] have come to give peace
52
on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For
from now on in one house there will be five divided,
53
three against two and two against three. They will
be divided, father against son and son against father,
mother against daughter and daughter against
mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law
and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Luke 14:25–27 (ESV)
Now great crowds accompanied him, and he
26
turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to
me and does not hate his own father and
mother and wife and children and brothers and
sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be
27
my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own
cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
Matthew 19:27-29a (ESV)
Then Peter said in reply, “See, we have left everything
28
and followed you. What then will we have?” Jesus
said to them, “Truly, I say to you, in the new world,
when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you
who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones,
29
judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who
has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother
or children or lands, for my name’s sake . . .
b
Matthew 19:29
And everyone who has left houses or brothers
or sisters or father or mother or children or
lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a
hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.
Luke 8:1–3 (ESV)
Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages,
proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom
2
of God. And the twelve were with him, and also some
women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities:
Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had
gone out, 3and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s
household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who
provided for them [or “him”] out of their means.
Matthew 27:55 (ESV)
There were also many women there, looking
on from a distance, who had followed Jesus
56
from Galilee, ministering to him, among
whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the
mother of James and Joseph and the mother
of the sons of Zebedee.
Luke 8:21 (ESV)
But he answered them, “My mother and my
brothers are those who hear the word of
God . . .”
Luke 8:21 (ESV)
But he answered them, “My mother and my
brothers are those who hear the word of God
and do it.”
Titus 2:3–5 (ESV)
Older women likewise are to be reverent in
behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine.
4
They are to teach what is good, and so train the
young women to love their husbands and children,
5to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind,
and submissive to their own husbands, that the
word of God may not be reviled.
Luke 2:48-50 (ESV)
And when his parents saw him, they were
astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son,
why have you treated us so? Behold, your father
and I have been searching for you in great
49
distress.” And he said to them, “Why were you
looking for me? Did you not know that I must be
50
in my Father’s house?” And they did not
understand the saying that he spoke to them.
Proverbs 31:26 (ESV)
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the
teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
John 2:1–5 (ESV)
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in
2
Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also
3
was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When
the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him,
4
“They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her,
“Woman, what does this have to do with me? My
5
hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the
servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Matthew 7:6 (ESV)
“Do not give dogs what is holy, and do
not throw your pearls before pigs, lest
they trample them underfoot and turn to
attack you.”
Proverbs 20:12 (ESV)
The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the
LORD has made them both.
