There are a lot of misunderstandings concerning the mother of Jesus. There are some who want to make her the fourth person of the Trinity. There are others who would make her another way to go between God and man. Here we see clearly that she was neither of these. She was a blessed woman to be the mother of our Lord. However, as Jesus is dying He makes provisions for His mother to be cared for by one of the disciples. “She needed the care and protection of another, thus she could not be divine or a mediator between God and man.”, says JC Ryle.
