Christ: "Behold thy Mother!"

   
   "Christ:  "Behold thy Mother!"
   
   Though I am Catholic, will use the KJV to display John 19:26-27--here goes:
   
26)  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

27)  Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!  And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

   This is Saint John--the Disciple whom Jesus loved as proclaims the New Testament.  The only male Disciple to be at the crucifixion; moreover, the only Disciple not to be martyred, curious.
   Nevertheless, a wondrous sign of devotion and loyalty.  A dismissal of pragmatism and the nonsense of an earthly world hellbent on denying the sublime aspects of care and nurturing.  
   Yet even in fleeing, Saint Peter is still the Rock, curious.  Again, I will quote the macho cool of truck-driving Jack Burton, him having artistically shaken the Pillars of Heaven:  "Never can tell."
